Wi-Fi UI Settings Enable/Disable

Wi-Fi UI Settings Enable/Disable is a Launcher feature that enables displaying the Wi-Fi UI Settings.

Overview

A reliable Wi-Fi network connection is essential for accessing shared enterprise devices. Wi-Fi Settings UI Enable/Disable is a Launcher feature that helps manage Wi-Fi settings and configurations on mobile devices. It allows the Wi-Fi Settings UI to be displayed or hidden from users.

Caution: On certain versions of Android 11 for Zebra devices, launching android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS has been observed to grant full access to the Android Settings app, including the Quick Settings tiles.

BlueFletch recommends that android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS and other Android Settings API shortcuts be placed in layouts for manager roles or have a password set, which only managers know, if the shortcuts are in the Open Zone.

BlueFletch does NOT recommend placing these shortcuts in the Open Zone without protections in place due to the risk of users reaching full Android Settings.
