The initial settings for Wi-Fi Sense are determined by the options you chose when you first set up your PC with Windows 10.
**Note**<br>Wi-Fi Sense isn’t available in all countries or regions.
**Important**<br>We've deprecated the Wi-Fi Sense credential sharing functionality, which means that while you currently see it in the user interface, it's non-functional. The feature and its associated text will be fully-removed from future releases.

## How does Wi-Fi Sense work?
Wi-Fi Sense connects your employees to open Wi-Fi networks, using crowdsourcing to find the networks that other Windows users are connected to. Typically, these are the open (no password required) Wi-Fi hotspots you see when you’re out and about.

**Important**<br>The service that was used to share networks with Facebook friends, Outlook.com contacts, or Skype contacts is no longer available. This means:
The **Connect to networks shared by my contacts** setting will still appear in **Settings &gt; Network & Internet &gt; Wi-Fi &gt; Manage Wi-Fi settings** on your PC and in **Settings &gt; Network & wireless &gt; Wi‑Fi &gt; Wi‑Fi Sense** on your phone. However, this setting will have no effect now. Regardless of what it’s set to, networks won’t be shared with your contacts. Your contacts won’t be connected to networks you’ve shared with them, and you won’t be connected to networks they’ve shared with you.
Even if you selected **Automatically connect to networks shared by your contacts** when you first set up your Windows 10 device, you still won’t be connected to networks your contacts have shared with you.
If you select the **Share network with my contacts** check box the first time you connect to a new network, the network won’t be shared.
