Using public Wi-Fi can put your personal information at risk. Hackers can access your data through unsafe connections. The Wi-Fi Checker helps you check if your Wi-Fi is safe and warns you about any problems.

How Wi-Fi Checker Works

The Wi-Fi Checker tells you if the Wi-Fi connection is safe. It warns you if:

  • The connection does not need a special login or password to connect.
  • You might be using an unsafe Wi-Fi connection that could let hackers:
    • Steal your login details.
    • Change information on your device.
    • Spread harmful software.

How to Turn ON Wi-Fi Checker

  1. Open the Mobile Security app.
  2. Tap on Wi-Fi Checker.
  3. If this is your first time, you will see a short introduction. Tap the Take a Look button to continue.
  4. The Wi-Fi Checker will now check for problems with your Wi-Fi connection.
  5. If the connection is safe, it will show no issues. It will say if it is password protected and if there are no suspicious activities.

Tips for Using Unsafe Wi-Fi Connections

  • Assume that everything you do is visible to others.
  • Avoid using public Wi-Fi for banking or financial tasks.
  • When entering credit card information online, make sure the web address starts with https for security.
  • Do not do business on public Wi-Fi, as your information may be seen by others.
  • Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.
  • Be careful with email services, as they might not be secure.
  • Make sure you are using a real hotspot; avoid strange networks.
  • Keep the Wi-Fi Checker turned ON for extra safety.
