Last year, Facebook began testing a feature that made it easy to find public Wi-Fi networks around you. It was only available in iOS, and only in select locations.<\/p>\n
Now Facebook is rolling out the feature to everyone on its mobile apps. Just tap on the \u2018More\u2019 tab, and then select \u2018Find Wi-Fi\u2019. You\u2019ll see nearby Wi-Fi locations on a list or map, as well as information about the businesses hosting them.<\/p>\n
It\u2019ll come in handy if you\u2019re travelling internationally and don\u2019t have cellular data\/can\u2019t afford roaming. There\u2019s often Wi-Fi somewhere around you, but getting a consistent signal can be a pain if you don\u2019t know where the network is originating from.<\/p>\n
Likewise, it comes in handy if you\u2019re on a limited data plan and wan\u2019t to use Wi-Fi as much as possible to avoid being capped or paying extra fees.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, the tool only lists Wi-Fi networks that businesses have chosen to share their information on Facebook, so you\u2019re probably not going to find every possible connection through the tool. Also note that Facebook will turn on its Location History tracker if you enable Find Wi-Fi, which keeps tabs on all the places you\u2019ve visited.<\/p>\n
But hey, if you\u2019re ever lost in a foreign country desperately looking for Wi-Fi, it\u2019s at least a good starting point.<\/p>\n
