Many mobile phone owners never turn off the search for Wi-Fi networks: even when they are not using the Internet.
This approach is very dangerous: very serious consequences cannot be ruled out.
So, what problems can a user face if he/she does not turn off wireless technology in time?
The smartphone will discharge quickly
Constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks seriously increases the load on the gadget.
The battery starts to lose charge very quickly.
As a result, the user is faced with the need to charge the mobile phone several times a day.
Charging cycles are “used up” faster, the battery loses capacity and starts to work worse.
Personal data leak
Continuously functioning wireless technology also results in the mobile phone periodically connecting to unknown Wi-Fi networks.
It is possible that at certain moments the smartphone becomes visible to the owner of the router.
If we are talking about an attacker, he may take advantage of the situation and try to gain access to your personal information.
Therefore, turn off the search for Wi-Fi networks after each Internet session.
