How to install Wi-Fi Utility APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Wi-Fi Utility APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.tracfone.wifiutility-vR4.4.0-03-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★Useless app. Removed with ADB as soon as possible, DO NOT TALK TO THE DEVELOPERS because all they do is photocopy some idiot answering machine response and tell you to go on their website or text them. I've even told them "Do not call me A" to see if they actually read but they don't, they still called me A. It's the same answer no matter if it's "Wendy" or "Ramel" or "Frank" (most recently), they all paste the same thing and don't actually want to help you. TracFone is a useless company, tbh. (Can you sue for harassment? Because this is getting to that level of harassment.)
1 ★Edit- dev answers my questions of is this a virus with a sketchy link or to txt them- right- if legit please respond here how to uninstall. Woke up one morning with this taking up space on my phone. Never downloaded it, never wanted it and they dont even let you uninstall it or remove the thumbnail from your screen. I keep telling it to not change my settings or look for wifi and it seems like it changes the settings back every day. Is this app a virus??
1 ★I operate 5 tracfones. A month ago, all 5 stopped Tx or Rx texts unless were connected to the net. This had cost me time and money by missing clients. Tracfone tech tried for over hour and could not fix it. Next up, Metro phones.

1 ★This app is CONSTANTLY disrupting games by showing "pop up" ads DURING GAMES even to the point of OBSCURING targets(losing points) DURING GAMES. If it wasn't "pre-installed", I would have DELETED IT LONG AGO!!!! If you can PROHIBIT this VERY ANNOYING POP UP DISPLAY I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE IT A MUCH BETTER RATING!!!

No way to keep the wifi turned off...like the phone is possessed! Now it wants more permissions to access my files?? No way! I want it gone! Disabling this mess...

1 ★This app is a virus. Why is google installing it on my device? It was never there before and now continues to re-enable itself after I've disabled it. It can not be deleted even though it was not on my phone originally.
