Phones switch networks like people change clothes. Imagine you're wearing a hat, but it gets too hot, so you take it off and put on a shirt instead. Phones work the same way: they check if Wi-Fi is working or if mobile data is better. If one connection slows down or drops out, your phone switches to the other without you even noticing. It’s like having two ways to get home, one faster during rush hour, and the other more reliable on rainy days.
Examples
- You're watching a video on your phone while walking outside, it stays smooth because it switched connections automatically.
- Your phone connects to your home’s Wi-Fi but switches back to mobile data once you’re out of range.
