Can wifi owner see what sites I visit? Quick answer? Yes. Whether you’re using your phone on home wifi, public wifi, or at work, your online activity could be tracked. Even if you use incognito mode, the wifi owner (network administrator) could access router logs to monitor the domain names you visit. Network metadata includes all connected devices, which apps you use, and how much data is transferred during each session. The good news? Wifi bills don’t show your browsing history.
