2. Location services: Some apps and services on your phone may use your location information to provide more accurate results or to serve relevant ads. This requires Wi-Fi scanning to determine your location.

3. Network optimization: Some phones have a feature called “network optimization” or “smart network switch” that automatically scans for and switches between Wi-Fi and cellular networks to provide the best connection.
