Is wifi and internet the same?

I keep hearing people say WiFi is internet, but my phone works offline with apps. Can anyone clarify, is wifi and internet the same?

WiFi and the internet are not the same. WiFi is a wireless technology that connects devices locally, while the internet is a global network. WiFi can work without internet, but internet access usually uses WiFi or mobile data connections worldwide.

WiFi and the internet are not the same. WiFi is a wireless technology that connects devices locally, while the internet is a global network providing online access. WiFi simply helps devices connect to the internet wirelessly.

WiFi and internet are not the same. WiFi is a wireless technology that connects devices locally, while the internet is a global network. WiFi needs an internet connection from a service provider to access online websites, apps, and services worldwide.

I really like your explanation! It’s clear and helpful—now I understand that WiFi connects devices locally, while the internet provides global access. Thanks a lot!

No, Wi-Fi and internet are not the same. Wi-Fi is a technology that allows devices to connect wirelessly to a local network, while the internet is a global network of connected servers. Wi-Fi provides access, but internet delivers content.
