How to Turn Off Slow WiFi Using Siri or Google Assistant

Did you just automatically connect to a slow WiFi?

This can happen when you're away from your home WiFi and your phone has automatically joined a WiFi that is slow.

You can manually disable WiFi to jump back to your Carrier's data connection by clicking the menus.

But you can also just tell Siri or Google Assistant to turn off your WiFi connection.

 “Hey Siri, turn off my WiFi” 

When you know you have a solid WiFi connection again, just tell Siri or Google Assistant to turn it back on.

"Hey Siri, turn on my Wifi"

That's it!  Enjoy.
