Not enough data? Facebook will help you find free WiFi nearby

According to foreign media reports, Facebook is testing a new feature that can help mobile devices mark nearby free public WiFi locations. It is expected that the feature will be launched in a few countries (obviously, China is not among them).

"To help people stay connected to the friends and experiences they care about, we’re rolling out a new feature that surfaces nearby open WiFi networks," a Facebook spokesperson said.

In fact, this feature is already available on some iOS devices, and users can check the menu options to find "Enable Find WiFi". If there is this option, switch the setting on, and the device will be able to find places with access points nearby. This feature can also display businesses that provide free WiFi and the time it takes to get to the area.

Facebook also recommends that users allow apps to record their location history to get accurate location history. Facebook has not yet disclosed the purpose of launching this feature, but in any case, this feature can effectively save users' mobile data.

As we all know, Facebook has a dream of "connecting the world". For example, they developed an Aquila drone as a communication base station in order to extend network coverage to remote areas. Zuckerberg said that Facebook is expected to connect 5 billion of the world's 7 billion people by 2030. In addition to its own technology reserves, Facebook also cooperated with Cisco to conduct a pilot two years ago, allowing users to use free WiFi when logging into a merchant using Facebook.
