Phones switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data like a kid switching between two favorite toys. When your phone is near a strong Wi-Fi signal, it uses that instead of mobile data because it's faster and cheaper. If the Wi-Fi gets weak, maybe you walk out of the house, your phone notices and switches to mobile data automatically so you can still stream or message without interruption.
Examples
- Your phone switches to mobile data when you walk out of your house, so your music doesn’t pause.
- If the Wi-Fi connection is too slow, your phone might switch to mobile data during a video call for better quality.
- Your phone automatically uses Wi-Fi at home but switches back to mobile data while you're driving.
