When I go to settings on my iPad, my WiFi connection says “privacy warning”. What does this mean and what should I do? Also, I am having issues with disconnecting from WiFi.
What does “privacy warning” mean on my WiFi connection?

If you tap the blue “i” icon that appears next to your WiFi network name, you should see more information.
You are perhaps seeing this warning if WiFi Private Addressing is turned off.
The new WiFi Private Address feature provides additional privacy and security when using “public” (untrusted) WiFi networks. This feature is largely unnecessary for your home WiFi network.
More information about this feature can be found here:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
