Many users never turn off searching for Wi-Fi networks on their mobile devices. In such a situation, wireless technology works constantly and everywhere: day and night, at home and on the street.

In most cases, this is very convenient. However, the possible negative consequences should not be forgotten. Pixelinform portal writes that the Wi-Fi on the smartphone must be turned off before leaving the house. The recommendation should be followed for two reasons.

Data protection

If the owner of the gadget is away from home, continuing to search for Wi-Fi networks, the smartphone will connect to all detected access points. And such a phenomenon is a serious danger because some public networks are dangerous.

Criminals can access the smartphone owner’s personal data.

Therefore, you should only connect to verified networks. And automatic connection and constantly working Wi-Fi should be abandoned.

battery saver

Searching for Wi-Fi networks, like any other wireless technology, is quite insatiable and drains the battery quickly.

If you do not want your smartphone to discharge quickly on the street, disable this function in advance.
