Phone won't automatically join xfinity wifi hotspots?

So I ordered my iPhone day directly from xfinity on release day. The issue i have had since i got my phone (i did install the xfinity hotspot app) is my phone won't automatically join either XFINITY or xfinitywifi (i don't know the difference) around my area. If i'm somewhere that has the hotspot available i can click on it and i will connect but it will never "auto" connect which is a pain. I shouldn't have to click on it for it to connect. I have "Auto-Join" set on both of them. I have installed the xfinity hotspot app. Previously I had a Google Pixel which worked fine. Any ideas?
