Why do I have to unlock my phone to turn off Wi-Fi?
It's a safety measure to track your phone (using Android Device Manager) in case it gets lost or stolen.
Can I use a locked phone for Wi-Fi only?
Any phone, whether unlocked or locked, can connect to a WiFi network as long as that WiFi is operational. So, how can you know if a phone is unlocked? If you have an iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data to check if your phone is unlocked.
How do I turn on Wi-Fi when my screen is locked?
To enable Wi-Fi on a locked Android, simply swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification bar. Tap and hold Wi-Fi, then turn it on. Then, to connect, tap on the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
