Why you have to turn off Wi-Fi on your cell phone when you leave home

One of the ways that we can save the mobile data of our cell phone is connect to our home Wi-Fi, since when we have our free time, we can check social networks without spending the data provided by the telephone plan that we have contracted.

What you probably don’t know is that technology experts recommend disconnecting your cell phone’s Wi-Fi when you leave your home for various benefits.

The first is that with this simple step, you will prevent your phone’s battery from draining so quickly. Also, if you have the option enabled, it may be that when you are away from home, your cell phone automatically connects to networks that are open, thus exposing your personal data and IP address to third parties, something that implies a risk to the security of the device.

This is why it is always recommended to only connect to trusted networks and at best to have a VPN to fully protect your data.
