AT&T Smart Wifi app no longer supported: can I just delete it?

[Emmie9999]

Hi, everyone! I'm new to the forums, and came here looking for some assistance. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23, my carrier is AT&T. There's an AT&T app named AT&T Smart Wifi installed; I'm honestly not sure of what it's supposed to do. I've had the phone for about 5 months, and I don't think I've ever used it. This past week, I noticed a little symbol in the upper left tray on my home screen, an upside down teardrop. I pulled down the menu, and it read "AT&T Smart Wifi is actively managing your wifi connection." I tapped it, and the Smart wifi app opened, along with a message saying it would no longer be supported as of 4/23/2023. So 4 months after it stopped being supported, it's suddenly actively telling me that it is managing my wifi connections. I'm very confused. I'd really like to just delete the thing, but I'm not sure if that will mess up my ability to connect via wifi? If anyone has any experience or insight to share, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance, Emmie
