Facebook has introduced a new feature called Find Wi-Fi to allow users locate available free Wifi networks around and connect to them easily. Facebook tested this feature sometimes last year in selected countries for iPhone users and it is now global. Both Android and iOS users can enjoy this and it's now rolled out to all countries and all age bracket. So no restrictions anymore.
HOW IT WORKS
It's no rocket science as it's built directly into the Facebook app itself, the Find Wi-Fi option shows a map of your location as well as listing all the companies, organizations or even individuals with free Wi-Fi hotspots or routers that you can connect to for free Internet access.
Moreover, if you are in a location where your mobile data is weak, you can use Find Wi-fi to look for available free wifi hotspot near you and connect.
HOW TO USE FACEBOOK FREE WIFI HOTSPOT
✔ Open your Facebook app
✔️ Click on the More tab and then Find Wi-Fi.
✔️ Once in the Find Wi-Fi tab, you may need to turn Wi-Fi on, if it isn't on already.
You can then browse the closest available hotspots on a map, and learn more about the businesses hosting them.
Note that it won't work on password protected WiFi around you. So those of you staying close to where there are free WiFi, this is yet another opportunity for free browsing.
Meanwhile, I think there is no big deal on this because even without Facebook, you can still connect to free WiFi. There are bunch of apps that can do that.

thanks oga wizy for ur informative update I have been using this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHow has the experience been going on ever since you started using this feature?
DeleteThis is a welcome development but the inbuilt Facebook app uses much storage space and RAM so i hardly use it.
ReplyDeleteAs you had rightly said, there are lots of apps that can perform such function without having to install Facebook in our phones.
Thanks for Your informative article

ReplyDeleteFacebook should have made it possible for the app to crack password protected WiFi.
