iOS – Check if wifi is being used

| | Blog, iOS Development

In an app I was making recently I wanted to check if the user was using a wifi connection. I used the method below to check and just checked whether it returned true or false.

- (BOOL)networkCheck{
 Reachability *currentReachability = [[Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection] retain];
 NetworkStatus networkStatus = [currentReachability currentReachabilityStatus];
 [currentReachability release];
switch (networkStatus)
 {
 case NotReachable: {
 NSLog(@"Not connected");
 return false;
 break;
 }
 
case ReachableViaWWAN:{
 NSLog(@"Cellular Network");
 return false;
 break;
 }
 
case ReachableViaWiFi:{
 NSLog(@"Wifi");
 return true;
 break;
 }
 }
 
return false;
}
