Facebook is testing a new feature on its app that pinpoints nearest free Wi-Fi on a map.
The feature is reportedly available to a very small number of mobile app users, and is currently limited to Facebook for iOS users only.
The new feature being tested is listed under menu option of the Facebook app as “Find Wi-Fi” and prompts users to set location access feature on the app to “always.” The new feature then points to the free and publicly available Wi-Fi hotspots to users on a map and also shows them directions to the nearest location.
The downside is that the new “Find Wi-Fi” may be a issue for Facebook Live feature that requires a decent Internet speed to live stream.
As of now, there are no user reports that the new “Find Wi-Fi” feature is available for Android users.
