Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – How to Disable Wi-Fi Auto-Connect and Bluetooth
|If you have used a public network, your phone will likely attempt to reconnect to that network the next time you go to that public space. By connecting to these open networks without notifying you, your phone can run the risk of allowing outside interference and surveillance. Similarly, leaving Bluetooth enabled on your device when not needed increases your visibility and allows unknown devices to connect to yours without permission, even when on separate networks. Read more for how to disable these settings on both iPhones and Android devices.
