Also, a child can delete a Wi-Fi network from their &#8220;previously connected&#8221; list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Router records may also reveal devices or domains used on your home network, while Android\u2019s data-usage screens show which apps transferred data\u2014not necessarily which sites were visited. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For parents who need broader context, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexispy.com\">FlexiSPY<\/a> can show a timestamp for each connection activity \u2014 letting you see a complete connection history \u2014 as well as information such as browser searches, app activity, and location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this article, we explain what each type of record can tell you, where to find it, and where its limitations begin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your child\u2019s Android phone may move between home Wi-Fi, school networks, a friend\u2019s router, public hotspots, and mobile data without much thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a parent, checking those connections can help answer practical questions: Has the phone joined an unfamiliar network? Is one app consuming unusually large amounts of data? Is your child using public Wi-Fi without understanding the risks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is relevant to nearly every family with a teenager. In 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2024\/12\/12\/teens-social-media-and-technology-2024\/\">Pew Research Center found that 95% of U.S. teens had access to a smartphone<\/a>. Its 2025 research found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2025\/12\/09\/teens-social-media-and-ai-chatbots-2025\/\">97% of teens used the internet daily, including 40% who said they were online almost constantly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, \u201cWi-Fi history\u201d can refer to several different things. Before reaching for an app or opening the router settings, it helps to identify what you actually want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/teen-smartphone-access-stat.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"95% of U.S. teens have access to a smartphone according to Pew Research Center\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does \u201cWi-Fi History\u201d Mean on Android?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents commonly use the phrase to describe four different records:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>What you want to check<\/th><th>What it shows<\/th><th>Where to look<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Saved or connected networks<\/td><td>Wi-Fi names the phone remembers or is using now<\/td><td>Android Wi-Fi settings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Connection activity<\/td><td>Connection duration, data transferred, or limited diagnostics<\/td><td>Android or manufacturer-specific settings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Home router activity<\/td><td>Devices connected to your router and, on some models, network or domain logs<\/td><td>Router app or administration page<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Online activity<\/td><td>Apps, browser searches, websites, and other activity on the phone<\/td><td>Family tools, account activity, or parental monitoring software<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These records are not interchangeable. A saved network called <code>School-Guest<\/code>, for example, suggests that the phone connected to that network at some point. It does not prove when the connection happened, how long it lasted, where the phone was, or what your child did online<strong> \u2014 unless you use a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexispy.com\">FlexiSPY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Check Saved Wi-Fi Networks on Your Child\u2019s Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest check is the phone\u2019s list of saved networks. Google explains that after an Android device joins a Wi-Fi network, the network is saved so the phone can reconnect when it is nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a Pixel or an Android phone using a similar layout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on your child\u2019s phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Network &amp; internet<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Internet<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for <strong>Saved networks<\/strong> or scroll through the Wi-Fi settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap a network to review the available details or remove it with <strong>Forget<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact labels can change by Android version and manufacturer. Google\u2019s current <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/android\/answer\/9075847\">Android Wi-Fi instructions<\/a> provide the baseline route, but Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, and other brands may organize the menu differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On a Samsung Galaxy phone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try the following route:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Connections<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <strong>Wi-Fi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the three-dot menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Advanced settings<\/strong> or <strong>Manage networks<\/strong>, depending on the One UI version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saved list may contain your home network, school or library Wi-Fi, hotels, caf\u00e9s, relatives\u2019 homes, and hotspots shared from other phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What parents should look for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An unfamiliar name is a reason to ask a calm question, not proof that something is wrong. Network names can be generic, renamed, duplicated, or deliberately spoofed. Start with context:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the name match a school, sports center, caf\u00e9, or friend\u2019s home?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is it an open network without a lock icon?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does your child remember joining it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the phone set to connect automatically?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a network is no longer needed or cannot be identified, you and your child can select it and tap <strong>Forget<\/strong>. This stops automatic reconnection, but it does not create or recover a past connection log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Android Show When Each Wi-Fi Network Was Used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, not in a simple history screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard Android shows saved networks and information about the current connection, but it does not normally present a parent-friendly timeline listing every Wi-Fi connection and disconnection. Some diagnostic information exists inside Android, but it may be temporary, technical, restricted, or overwritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where many online guides become misleading. A list of saved networks is evidence that a network was remembered\u2014not a complete Wi-Fi history with dates and times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Samsung\u2019s Connectivity Labs may provide more detail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some recent Samsung Galaxy devices include a hidden <strong>Connectivity Labs<\/strong> section within Intelligent Wi-Fi. Depending on the phone and One UI version, it may show daily Wi-Fi connection time, network usage, saved-network totals, frequency bands, and other diagnostics. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/phones\/samsung-galaxy-phones\/your-samsung-galaxy-phone-has-a-hidden-wi-fi-menu-that-lets-you-check-for-dead-zones-around-your-home-heres-how-to-find-it\">overview of Samsung\u2019s Connectivity Labs<\/a> demonstrates the available connection and usage information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check whether it is available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &gt; Connections &gt; Wi-Fi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the three-dot menu and open <strong>Intelligent Wi-Fi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll to the bottom and tap the <strong>Intelligent Wi-Fi<\/strong> heading repeatedly until Connectivity Labs is enabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open <strong>Connectivity Labs<\/strong> and review the available information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an optional manufacturer tool, not a standard Android feature, and its contents can change between Samsung models and software versions. It may provide useful usage context, but parents should not assume it holds a permanent record of every named network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Check Android Network Activity and Data Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your concern is how much internet activity is occurring rather than which Wi-Fi name was used, Android\u2019s data-usage settings are more useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the Settings search bar and search for <strong>data usage<\/strong>, <strong>mobile data and Wi-Fi<\/strong>, or <strong>app data usage<\/strong>. Depending on the phone, you may be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare how much data individual apps used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a date range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Separate mobile-data use from Wi-Fi use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify an app with an unexpected increase in activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Google says the Android network-data screen for Google Play services can show <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/android\/answer\/14792638\">the last 14 days or a custom period of up to 90 days<\/a>. Other apps and manufacturers may offer different date ranges, so treat the phone\u2019s own labels as authoritative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data usage is a volume measurement. If a messaging app transferred 2 GB, Android may show the app and quantity, but it will not necessarily reveal who your child contacted or what was sent. Likewise, heavy video use may explain a large number without indicating that anything unsafe happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a broader view of screen time and app launches, see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flexispy.com\/monitor-child-android-app-usage\/\">monitoring a child\u2019s Android app usage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Check Your Home Router From an Android Phone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your router may show information that is not stored in an easy-to-read form on your child\u2019s phone. You must own or administer the network to access these records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Use the router\u2019s official app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many internet providers and router manufacturers offer an Android app. After signing in, look for sections such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Connected devices<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Device list<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network map<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activity<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Logs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parental controls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The connected-device list can tell you whether your child\u2019s phone is currently using home Wi-Fi. Some routers also retain connection times or security events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Open the router administration page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is no app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect your Android phone to your home Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open a browser and enter the router\u2019s gateway address. Common addresses include <code>192.168.0.1<\/code> and <code>192.168.1.1<\/code>, but yours may differ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign in with the router administrator account\u2014not merely the Wi-Fi password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the device list, system log, security log, or parental-control section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not use a default administrator password. Change it to a unique password and keep the router firmware updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What router history cannot reliably show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Router capabilities differ considerably. Many consumer routers store little or no browsing history. Even when logs are available, you may see only devices, IP addresses, connection events, or domain names\u2014not complete page URLs or the content viewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Router visibility can also be affected by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HTTPS encryption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encrypted DNS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VPN use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile data, which bypasses the home router<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activity on school, caf\u00e9, or friends\u2019 Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short log-retention periods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incognito mode does not make traffic disappear from the network itself, but that does not mean a typical home router will produce a complete, readable incognito browsing history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Public Wi-Fi Dangerous for Children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public Wi-Fi is not automatically unsafe. The <a href=\"https:\/\/consumer.ftc.gov\/are-public-wi-fi-networks-safe-what-you-need-know\">U.S. Federal Trade Commission explains<\/a> that widespread HTTPS encryption makes public Wi-Fi safer than it once was. However, children can still join imitation hotspots, encounter unencrypted services, expose information through poor security habits, or leave automatic connection enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teach your child to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm the correct network name with staff before joining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid installing certificates or profiles prompted by an unfamiliar hotspot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep Android and apps updated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use secure websites and trusted apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid sensitive account changes on a network they do not trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off automatic connection for public networks they rarely use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell you if a Wi-Fi login page requests unusual personal information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is not to make every unknown network look suspicious. It is to help your child recognize when a connection deserves extra care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Wi-Fi History Alone Gives Parents an Incomplete Picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Wi-Fi name tells you about a connection point. It rarely tells you what happened through that connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>Library-Guest<\/code> does not show which apps were opened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A large data total does not show which conversations took place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A router domain log does not explain the purpose or context of a visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No home-router record does not mean the phone was offline; it may have used mobile data or another Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Family Link can help parents manage apps, Chrome-related settings, search controls, and location on supported supervised accounts. Google also notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/families\/answer\/7103262\">supervision features vary by the child\u2019s device<\/a>. Family Link does not provide a universal, timestamped Wi-Fi connection-history report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When location is the real concern, use location tools rather than trying to infer a child\u2019s whereabouts from an SSID. Our guide explains <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flexispy.com\/child-location-history-android\/\">how to review a child\u2019s Android location history and where Family Link\u2019s limits begin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How FlexiSPY Can Add Context Beyond Wi-Fi Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a parent needs to understand more than the name of a connected network, FlexiSPY can provide additional information from a compatible Android device. Depending on the device, Android version, product tier, and enabled features, that context can include the timestamp of the Wi-Fi connection, browser searches, applications used, app screenshots, and location information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?resize=1024%2C546&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?resize=1024%2C546&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?resize=300%2C160&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?resize=768%2C410&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?resize=1536%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.flexispy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Connection.jpeg?w=1554&amp;ssl=1 1554w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents concerned about attempts to conceal network activity may also find our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flexispy.com\/child-using-vpn-guide\/\">how to tell whether a child is using a VPN<\/a> useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before using monitoring software, confirm compatibility and feature availability for the specific device and plan. Use it only on a device you own or are legally authorized to monitor, follow applicable law, and make monitoring part of an age-appropriate family safety agreement wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexispy.com\/\">Explore FlexiSPY<\/a> to compare the currently supported Android features and compatibility requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Better Way to Respond to an Unfamiliar Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding an unfamiliar saved network can feel alarming, but a measured response is more likely to produce useful information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Record the network name.<\/strong> Do not assume what it means based on the name alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask where the phone may have connected.<\/strong> School, transport, shops, sports facilities, and friends\u2019 homes are common explanations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check whether it is secured.<\/strong> An open network deserves a conversation about public Wi-Fi habits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review app data usage and related context.<\/strong> Look for unusual changes rather than treating ordinary background data as proof of misconduct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forget unnecessary networks.<\/strong> Remove networks the phone should not automatically rejoin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Agree on a family rule.<\/strong> For example, your child should ask before joining an unknown hotspot or installing a Wi-Fi profile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach keeps the focus on safety and digital judgment rather than surveillance for its own sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I see every Wi-Fi network my child\u2019s Android has connected to?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With native Android capabilities you can usually see networks that remain saved on the phone. This is not guaranteed to include every past connection because networks can be forgotten, removed, or no longer retained. Most Android phones do not provide a permanent, timestamped list of every Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with FlexiSPY&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexispy.com\/en\/features\/spy-on-network-connections.htm\">network connection feature<\/a> &#8211; you can see a complete history of Wi-Fi connections made on your child&#8217;s device including the timestamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Android Wi-Fi history show websites visited?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Saved Wi-Fi networks show connection names, not browsing history. Browser or Google account activity, router logs, DNS tools, or authorized parental monitoring may provide other information, each with different limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Google Family Link show connected Wi-Fi networks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family Link offers account, app, browser, search, and location controls on supported supervised devices, but it is not a comprehensive Wi-Fi connection-history tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I check my child\u2019s Wi-Fi history remotely?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With FlexiSPY you can. However if you do not have FlexiSPY then the saved-network list generally requires access to the Android phone. A router app may allow remote access to your home network\u2019s device information, but it cannot report connections made through mobile data or somebody else\u2019s router. Broader parental tools may provide related activity remotely, but should not be described as a Wi-Fi connection log unless that exact feature is supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a VPN hide Android network activity?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A VPN can reduce what the local router or internet provider can see by encrypting traffic between the phone and the VPN service. It does not necessarily hide the fact that data was transferred, and it does not erase activity already recorded by apps, accounts, or authorized monitoring tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a saved Wi-Fi network reveal my child\u2019s location?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may provide a clue if the network name clearly belongs to a known place, but an SSID is not reliable proof of location. Names can be duplicated or changed. Use an appropriate location feature when location accuracy matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking Wi-Fi history on Android begins with understanding which record you need. Android\u2019s saved-network list can identify remembered connections. Manufacturer diagnostics and data-usage screens can provide limited activity information.
