  • It absolutely is a good thing when security is concerned. WiFi is easy to snoop even if you’re not physically in the room, if you know what you’re doing. Sure there are encryption standards that are very good to tamp down on this. However, what’s even better with LiFi is you must be physically in the room to intercept any transmissions that are being sent.

    This is by design one of the largest advantages to LiFi. There are other practical uses as well, but it’s not like LiFi is designed to explicitly replace WiFi.



  • Thanks for answering. Sounds like in this case Android would work for you, if you were comfortable using Signal or showing up as a green dot on your family’s iPhones. Not that I am recommending you change or anything.

    I just wish* Apple would be more willing to integrate with standardized technologies, like MMS and USB-C. I get that they want to develop as much as possible inside the house, but some things are just inconvenient for their users when they have such a hardline stance.
