Today it is very common to walk down the street in big cities, and find various free WiFi points to which we can connect and navigate so as not to consume our data rate. For a while, Mark Zuckerberg's social network was testing functionality to detect these access points, and now we know that Facebook will finally allow you to find free WiFi networks through its application
It is known as "Find Wi-Fi", something that will surely be officially translated as "Find Wi-Fi", and for the last few months it has been available exclusively for iOS in a few countries through trial mode. Today Facebook announced that all iOS and Android users will soon have this new feature in their apps.
As Facebook points out, this is quite useful for those times when we're running out of data, or if We have traveled to an area outside of Europe where we do not have the freedom not to worry about roaming consumption. Remember that if you are in one of the countries of the European Union you can use your rate as usual.
To show us the location of these points, the new Facebook feature will mark the different points on a map, as well as details about the businesses or entities that manage it. Thanks to this we can select any of them to get directions on how to get there, if we have some kind of active connection.
The only problem Facebook users might run into is the lack of WiFi hotspots in cities, as the system for listing them requires more well intervention of the shops themselves than of the social network. And it is that they will only appear on the map if each company marks on their official Facebook page that they have a WiFi zone available.
Remember that soon both on iOS and Android, Facebook will allow you to find free WiFi networks through its application And, Although each business has to report whether or not they have an open network, we hope that most will have no objection to doing so, allowing them to have a general map through the Facebook app.
