Messing with their home Wi-Fi settings could be causing couples to lose their connection.
For better or worse, a TikTok snoop's tech trick can reveal a partner's internet habits and online interests, leaving her followers, who aren't exactly amateur detectives, scratching their heads in quest of clarification.
The curiosity-piquing post pulled in over 500,000 views, with many eager to understand exactly what she meant. In a follow-up clip, the TikTok shows that her Xfinity WiFi service can be set up to reveal the naked truth about what other users are up to on the network!
According to the company, what she did was stumble on the “Manage People” feature of her Xfinity Wi-Fi app. With this tool, individual profiles can be made for each user that will track their habits—to a degree.
Specifically, this is done through an “active time” feature that keeps tabs on when and for how long certain users were active for, up to a week prior. The app can also show a person’s most used social programs, like Instagram or X.
But while the feature may show other red flags, like frequent late-night usage, there is no actual way to track a person’s history through a router or modem.
And even if the most you end up doing is messing with their minds, anyone with administrator-level capabilities can change settings in the Xfinity app to restrict users to specific times of the day or night.
When someone tries to access the internet while on “pause,” they will be out of luck. You can check out he Tik Tok below for more info!
