Question

How do I forget a wifi network on a mobile device?

Answer

After you remove the old connection info, you’ll want to refresh and connect to the new StarID-credentialed network.  Please see our other articles about adding a WiFI network to Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile phones.

For Android (general instruction using Google Marshmallow):

1. Open Settings on your device, and tap on the WiFI icon to access WiFi network options.

2. Tap and hold the WiFi network you want to delete, then select Forget Network from the menu that appears.

For iOS (using iOS 9.2.1):

1. Open Settings on your device, and tap on the WiFI icon to access WiFi network options
