Facebook is rolling out a new feature within its mobile app that will help you find the nearest public Wi-Fi networks anywhere in the world. Originally spotted last November as part of a limited test, the feature is now launching for everyone under the Find WiFi section within the More tab.
You might be prompted to turn it on first since its not on by default. Once thats done you will be able to see a list of the closest public Wi-Fi hotspots or browse them on a map, then after clicking on one of them youll see more information on the businesses hosting it, like open hours, what kind of place it is (restaurant, library, etc.), and the name of their network.
Find WiFi could be useful for people in emerging markets where mobile data is slow or expensive, as well as people who dont want to incur heavy roaming charges when traveling internationally, and otherwise pretty much anyone that doesnt want to eat up their data allowance while using data intensive features like broadcasting through Facebook Live.
