New video shows Windows Phone 8.1's Wifi Sense in action

There is quite a lot to look forward to in Windows Phone 8.1, and one feature that’s going to save a good deal of time and frustration is Wifi Sense. This handy option takes a step out of accessing the internet through certain wireless hotspots, such as those found in coffee shops. Sick of having to click “Yes, I accept the conditions of connecting to this network”? Wifi Sense can take care of this for you.

Unleash the Phones has a video that shows the feature in action, and it looks like it’s shaping up well. The new feature can not only automatically accept the terms and conditions associated with connecting to a wifi network, but also enter data such as your name and phone number if required.

Another interesting option is the ability to share selected wifi networks with your contacts in Outlook.com, Skype and Facebook. This is a handy way to share a connection with a friend without the need to both sign in separately.

It might seem like a minor feature, but sometime it is the little things that make all the difference. Take a look at the video embedded below.
