Facebook Expands Find Wi-Fi Globally

Facebook just rolled out Find Wi-Fi everywhere in the world on iPhone and Android. The service was launched in a handful of countries last year and found it’s not only helpful for people who are traveling or on-the-go, but especially useful in areas where cellular data is scarce.

Find Wi-Fi helps you locate available Wi-Fi hot spots nearby

Facebook’s new service helps you locate available Wi-Fi hot spots nearby that businesses have shared with Facebook from their page. So wherever you are, you can easily map the closest connections when your data connection is weak.

How it works:

 

To find Wi-Fi hotspots, open your Facebook app, click on the “More” tab and then “Find Wi-Fi.” Once in the “Find Wi-Fi” tab you may need to turn it on. You can then browse the closest available hotspots on a map, and learn more about the businesses hosting them.
