   Auto connect to hotspots? Seems iffy.

   In a new phone (Android 16), there is a setting:   
      
     Hotspot 2.0 (enabled)   
     Automatically connect to Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi networks.   
      
   I don't think I want this as I wouldn't know anything about the   
   operators of the hotspots.  I prefer to find what wi-fi networks are   
   available when I visit someplace, and choose which one to use that I   
   decide is probably trustworthy.  Seems I should disable this setting.   
      
   I do want automatic connect to my wifi cable modem, but not to other   
   networks that may be available wherever I happen to be.
