Secure Wi-Fi
Secure Wi-Fi is a service that secures your Wi-Fi network connection. It encrypts data using
Wi-Fi networks and disables tracking apps and websites so that you can use Wi-Fi networks
safely. For example, when using an unsecure Wi-Fi network in public places, such as cafes
or airports, Secure Wi-Fi is automatically activated so that no one can hack your login
information or monitor your activity in apps and websites.
On the Settings screen, tap

on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
When Secure Wi-Fi is activated, the icon will appear on the status bar.
