THERE’S nothing worse than being without data.
Whether you enter a connection dead zone or you’ve simply ran out of data, it’ll leave you out in the cold on WhatsApp, the internet and anything else you need online.
You can even download maps offline before you set off
Fortunately there’s a little-known app that could help.
It’s called Wi-Fi Map.
The app is free to download on iPhone and Android.
And it’ll show you publicly available Wi-Fi hotspots nearby.
So you can spare your data and use the free Wi-Fi instead.
Whether it’s a nearby cafe or a McDonald’s, it’ll show you what’s available.
The app has more than 25,000 public Wi-Fi spots listed for England alone.
You can even download maps offline before you go out if you want to be extra sure.
Just open the app and tap Wi-Fi Finder.
You can also help others find Wi-Fi networks by listing any that aren’t already on the platform.
Tap the Add Wi-Fi button in the bottom right and follow the instructions.
You earn points for contributions, which can be used for rewards such as ad-free access to the app.
