Only if there is an active connection to the Internet, smartphones, and together with them and tablets that operate on the basis of Android and iOS mobile systems can reveal their potential and provide the user with access to the entire functionality. But what to do if communication with the network is unstable or the rate of data exchange below the one that is declared a service provider? First of all, you need to make sure that there are problems (or the absence of such), and the first step towards this is to check the Internet speed, which we will tell today.
Measure the speed of the Internet on the phone
Despite the fact that in the modern world, mobile devices are represented by two completely opposite camps - Android and iOS - measure the speed of the Internet connection on each of them is absolutely the same way. Regardless of whether you are the owner of Apple iPhone, iPad or any smartphone / tablet running the "green robot", to solve the task voiced in the title article, you can both online and using a special application.Note: All the actions we have further considered are equally both on Android devices and in the IOS environment. Differences, if any, will be marked separately, but for the demonstration of the general algorithm, we will use the android smartphone.

Conclusion
We looked at only two universal checks and measuring the speed of the Internet connection on mobile devices running Android and iOS. Most will be sufficiently second method - the use of a special application presented on both platforms, but it is the first to be performed much more quickly and just conveniently, since you are "at hand" - on the site Lumpics.ru.
