The Facebook app now allows us to find free Wi-Fi connections

The guys at Facebook just updated the app by adding a cool new feature if it really works like it should. Facebook wants us to be on the social network for as long as possible to gossip about our habits, what we say, what we comment, what we like…. And so that we can do it without worrying about our data rate, it has added a new function called Wifi, a new function that It will place on the map all the establishments that offer Wi-Fi Internet service to their customers.

In order to access the new function we must go to the application settings and click on the Search Wifi option. At that time, if we do not do it already, the application will force us to activate the location Always, not only when the application is running as many users have established to control battery consumption.

That the location is always activated does not make any sense for this function, but Facebook's tax collection effort with our data exceeds certain limits, and this is one of them, since you can know at all times the journey we make every day, if we go to Menganito to buy bread, if we are going to have a coffee with Fulanito….

It is clear that if you want to be informed at all times of the Wi-Fi points near your situation, this option is very good, but in the different app stores, too we can find applications that allow us to obtain this information without having to drain a large part of the battery on a day-to-day basis just to use it once a week or two.
This option could have been implemented a long time ago, since you only have to add a filter to show which establishment web pages offer free Wi-Fi.
