That would be a list of wi-fi routers, etc., that are there for you to
potentially make a connection to.  They are not (necessarily) a list of
people who can spy on your device, so long as you don't try to connect to
them.

Most of them should be password protected and not allow you to connect to
them, even if you want to.  Exceptions would be if you happen to live near
a business that offers free wi-fi to customers, or near someone who has not
properly secured their home network.

That said, unless you have wi-fi of your own, it does make sense to turn
the wi-fi off on the phone.
