Facebook is rolling out a tool across iPhone and Android, enabling users to find their nearest public WiFi hotspots. Located under the 'More' tab, the Find WiFi feature needs to be turned on to function, although activating it also turns on Facebook's Location History feature, which allows brands to send targeted ads. The new location history will only work with iPhone, but it's still an interesting addition for those who want to track where they are in relation to other users.

Find WiFi is Facebook's third foray into facilitating WiFi access and could help international travellers avoid heavy roaming costs, or help people living in areas with slow or costly mobile data.
