Yes, you can easily solve this problem by turning the feature off. But if you live or work in areas with consistently poor Wi-Fi signal, it's safer to keep it on. It's a useful feature and there are a few settings you can tweak without having to go through another round of data anxiety.
But if you want to stop using the feature, you can switch it off by navigating to – Settings > Mobile Data then scroll down to Wi-Fi Assist.
