How to find free Wi-Fi anywhere and connect safely: Things to keep in mind
Travel often means leaving your home internet behind. Whether you are on a weekend trip or visiting friends, staying connected matters. Finding free Wi-Fi on the go can keep you linked to work, family, or entertainment without using that costly mobile data. Here's how, with some simple steps and caution, you can locate and use free Wi-Fi safely at many locations. Start by knowing where to look. Many public places offer Wi-Fi access, but not all connections are safe. A hotspot is a device or location that provides wireless internet. There are two types: mobile hotspots and public hotspots. Also read: Realme Neo 7 Turbo key features tipped online ahead of May 29 launch: Here's what to expect Mobile hotspots use your smartphone to share the internet with other devices like laptops or tablets. Many phone plans support this feature, which lets you create a private hotspot. Public hotspots are common in places like cafes, airports, malls, libraries, and hotels. These networks aim to provide free internet to customers and visitors. You can find free Wi-Fi in many locations, including parks, museums, gyms, buses, and trains. Sometimes, your internet provider also offers access to their own hotspots. While you usually cannot connect to a hotspot at home unless you create one with your phone or connect to an open network nearby, public locations are your best bet for free internet. Also read: How to quietly limit someone on Instagram without blocking, unfollowing, or causing drama Before searching, consider using apps designed to locate Wi-Fi hotspots near you. Apps like Instabridge, WiFi Map, WiFi Around, Wiman, and WeFi provide lists or maps of available networks, often with useful details like login requirements and user feedback. These apps help you find reliable connections quickly and efficiently. However, before heading out, call places like libraries or campuses to confirm Wi-Fi availability if you don't use an app. To connect to free Wi-Fi, first check that your device supports Wi-Fi and turn it on. Once at the location, open your device's Wi-Fi settings and select the network you want to join. Many public networks require you to open a browser and agree to terms or enter an email before you get online. Although some networks require a password, which you can ask for at the venue.

Avoid accessing sensitive accounts, such as banks or making online purchases over unsecured networks. Never leave your device unattended in public spaces. Even secure Wi-Fi networks can carry risks, so be cautious about sharing personal information. Public Wi-Fi does not require strong authentication, which makes it vulnerable to hackers. They can intercept data, steal passwords, or even install harmful software on your device. Use caution and consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for extra protection.

WhatsApp to add collage, music stickers, and interactive features to status updates
WhatsApp is set to expand its Status feature with new creative tools which aim to enhance user interaction. The Status function, which operates like Stories on other social platforms, allows users to share text, photos, or videos that disappear after 24 hours. These updates will soon include more options such as collages, music stickers, and interactive elements within the app. Since March, WhatsApp users have been able to add music clips to their status updates by selecting from the app's music library. These clips last up to 15 seconds with photos and up to 60 seconds with videos. The latest update will enable users to convert these music clips into stickers, which will include a new way to integrate sound into their posts. Users will also have the option to share a song as a separate status update.

Another addition is a sticker called 'Add Yours,' which encourages followers to respond by sharing their own photos in reply to a status. Users will also be able to transform any photo into a sticker, resize or reshape it, and include it in their status update. Meta, WhatsApp's parent company, confirmed that these features will begin rolling out soon and become widely accessible in the upcoming months.

Currently, WhatsApp does not provide a simple logout feature. Users who want to stop using the app must uninstall it or delete their account. The upcoming logout option will change this by offering three choices: erase all data and preferences, keep all data and preferences, or cancel. If users select the erase option, all chats and data will be removed from the device. However, if they choose to keep their data, their messages, media and settings will remain on the device and be instantly available when they log back in.

It brings WhatsApp in line with other messaging apps like Telegram that already offer this flexibility. The ability to keep data while logging out will make it easier for users to pause their activity without having to set up everything again when they return.
