Is Wifi always turned on?

[Kulsman]

I have this feeling that Wifi is always on in windows phone 8.1. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes I have tested this , I left my wifi turned on last night , I got many emails and Instagram notifications.

I've seen people report they lost the ability to have Wifi always on. Since 8.1, I have never seen my Wifi disconnect or reconnect while the screen has been off. So I guess my Wifi is still always on.

WiFi in 8.1 is always on even with screen off. but I do find WiFi sense to be a huge battery drain at least for me so I've gone back to the manual toggling.

My WiFI flipped on and off every time the sceen went dark, but after a hard reset it fixed itself.

Is there any possibility to turn off WiFi when phone is locked?
