Abstract
A communication apparatus acquires network information for establishing a wireless connection with an external apparatus using a first wireless communication method, based on information captured by an image capturing unit, and acquires information related to the communication apparatus from an operating system running on the communication apparatus and determines whether to change a connection destination of the first wireless communication method. When it is determined to request the operating system to change the connection destination, a change request is transmitted for changing, to a connection destination identified based on the acquired network information, the connection destination to which the communication apparatus performs a wireless connection using the first wireless communication method, and when it is determined not to change the connection destination, a screen is displayed for prompting a user to switch a connection destination with a manual selection and via a setting screen provided by the operating system.
