Joining public Wi-Fi networks you don’t trust is a practice you should teach yourself to avoid to improve your privacy. Even when getting on the coffee shop or hotel’s complimentary Wi-Fi network, you should consider enabling a VPN service to protect your internet traffic. The more paranoid might want to leave that premium VPN connection on at all times, even when home, at the office, or when connecting to Wi-Fi networks belonging to friends and family. Alternatively, if your cellular plan comes with a great data package or unlimited internet, you could surf the web only over 4G or 5G while keeping active that VPN connection.
Incidentally, avoiding foreign Wi-Fi networks will also help you avoid an unexpected Wi-Fi bug that might render your iPhone’s ability to connect to Wi-Fi useless. That’s because you’d avoid an incredibly rare type of Wi-Fi network name that ruins Wi-Fi connectivity on iOS until a network reset is performed.
