How to quickly change WiFi networks on Android
If you frequently switch your Android device(s) from one WiFi network to a different one you probably do it by opening the Settings app, tapping Network and Internet, and then tapping on WiFi.
But guess what? There’s a faster and easier way to switch to a different network….
1 – Swipe down from the top of the screen twice to open the “Quick Settings” menu.
2 – Tap and hold the WiFi icon until a menu containing all the available WiFi networks pops up.
3 – Tap on the WiFi network of your choice to immediately switch to it (you might be prompted to sign in to the new network).
That’s all there is to it. Now you know a fast and easy way to immediately change WiFi networks on your Android device(s).
