How to forget a Wi-Fi network on Android

On a Pixel, go to Settings > Network & internet > Internet, tap the network and tap Forget. On Samsung, open Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi, tap the gear next to the network, then Forget.

How to do it

  1. On a Pixel, open Settings > Network & internet > Internet.

  2. Tap the saved network, then Forget.

  3. On a Samsung phone, open Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi, tap the gear next to the network, then Forget.

  4. Join the network again.

If the network is not in the list, the phone has already forgotten it. The spinning connection is then a signal or a password problem, not a stale profile.
