Genius Android trick can help you find closest free internet in your city

IF YOU are an Android user who often relies on free public Wi-Fi, then this genius hack will be an absolute gamechanger for you.

For that reason, a good amount of Android users rely on free, public Wi-Fi to access the internet outside of their homes.

Other important apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Gmail also require a network connection to access.

However, it can oftentimes be difficult to find free Wi-Fi in the public sphere, that is, until now.

One clever app called “WiFi Passwords, Offline maps & VPN. WiFi Map” (found on the Google Play Store) can help Android users locate all of the open Wi-Fi networks in their city.

This app can not only help users save time on searching for Wi-Fi but also save some money by preventing them from overusing their data.

How to locate Wi-Fi in your city

First, you have to download the app.

Then you have to connect to either your home or an external Wi-Fi network or access your mobile data.

After that step is done, you must activate your Android device’s GPS settings and allow the app permission to access your location.

The app will then display a map similar to Google Maps, with a tab at the bottom that’s called “Wi-Fi’s Near Me.”

Click on that tab to see all open Wi-Fi networks in your area, along with their name, address, and proximity to your location.

Once you select a specific Wi-Fi network, you can tap on the “Unlock Password” button to unlock its password.

If a network does not have a password, the app will state that.

The best part about this method is: it’s absolutely free.
