Public Wi-Fi looks fine at first, but you sometimes notice odd things… like someone quietly watching the same network without saying anything.
People join Wi-Fi names without thinking much, and honestly, some names look real enough that anyone might tap them without double-checking first.
It’s just safer to use mobile data for payments. Public Wi-Fi sometimes behaves strangely, and sensitive UPI or banking apps shouldn’t run on such networks at all.
Turning on a VPN makes everything feel private. It hides your browsing nicely, especially when the Wi-Fi environment feels unclear or slightly suspicious anywhere.
Phones sometimes join old networks automatically, and half the time we don’t even notice it happening until something seems a bit unusual or off.
Before entering any password, look for the HTTPS lock. It’s a tiny detail, but it matters when you aren’t confident about the network.
Leaving Bluetooth or Airdrop on feels harmless, but strangers nearby can still connect, and one small oversight can bring unexpected trouble later.
Anytime you need to check important accounts, your own hotspot feels safer. Public Wi-Fi usually isn’t reliable enough for sensitive or private things.
After finishing, forget the Wi-Fi network completely. It prevents your phone from reconnecting later automatically, especially when you never wanted that happening.
