AT&T Smart Wi-Fi
Safe to disable: com.att.android.attsmartwifi Safe to disable Community evidence
An older AT&T app that found and joined Wi-Fi hotspots automatically to save mobile data. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
AT&T Smart Wi-Fi was preloaded on AT&T Android phones to manage Wi-Fi connections. It looked for known and partner hotspots, joined them on its own and tracked how much data went over Wi-Fi instead of the mobile network. AT&T has withdrawn it from Google Play, and Android now handles switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data itself.
If you disable it
The app stops joining hotspots for you. Android's own Wi-Fi settings keep working as normal.
How to disable it
Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > AT&T Smart Wi-Fi > Disable or Uninstall; the exact wording follows the phone's maker.
