Unless something has recently changed, it has been repeatedly stated by respected members in this community that what you describe is a normal power-saving feature.


From my own personal experiences, I’ve found that my carrier’s WiFi calling application appears to keep the WiFi “on / active” so as to be able to receive calls.


There may be other applications which could also keep WiFi “on” of which I’m not familiar.
