Abstract
Some implementations disclosed herein enable users of electronic devices to recognize when device issues may be the result of no or poor Wi-Fi connectivity by making Wi-Fi signal information more easily accessible, visually prominent, graphically indicating an application's dependence upon a Wi-Fi signal, or otherwise providing useful connectivity information in a noticeable and easy to understand manner. This may involve providing a graphic indication of Wi-Fi signal strength on a tablet device used in a prison, jail, or other confinement institution.
