It should be this setting that is enabled.
(It for apps to use wifi in background, even though
you switch the settings "keep wifi on during
sleep"
On device (when wifi is off go to) /Settings /Connections/ Wi-Fi / you will /should see the
following wording...
" To improve location accuracy, turn on Wi-Fi scanning in Improve accuracy settings."
tap on 3 last words
It will take you to page "Improve Accuracy"
swicth wifi scanning off.
See screenshots .( in correct order , view 2nd screenshot , then first screenshot )
Good luck
