Have you ever wondered if the internet speed you're paying for is truly what you're getting? When your movies are lagging on sluggish internet and you have no clue what the speed is, you may keep phoning your provider. If you've been in similar situations in the past, it's a good idea to keep an eye on your WiFi or cellular speed. Here are Android apps listed which will be quite useful in testing your internet speed on your Android smartphone.

Ookla Speedtest: This software from Ookla is also accessible on the Apple App Store and is undoubtedly one of the most dependable platforms. The app requires access to your location and other permissions on your smartphone to work correctly. Users may also access it using its desktop browser.

V-SPEED: It is exclusively available as a mobile app, features a modern-looking UI and various adjustment choices for those interested in complex settings. It includes a WiFi and mobile signal finder, maps of mobile network coverage, the ability to filter and organize historical results, and the ability to set default-test servers. It has a 4.6 rating in the Apple App Store and a 4.8 rating in the Google Play Store.

SpeedTest Master: SpeedTest Master is a straightforward software for evaluating internet speed on Android smartphones. It displays the download and upload speeds on the site, but it also displays in-app advertisements. It can measure the speed of 4G, 5G, DSL, and ADSL connections. According to the manufacturer, the SpeedTest Master may also function as a "WiFi analyzer."

Internet Speed Test Meter: This app from 'Test speed internet & Net metre' has a colourful design that displays the download and upload speeds of the phone's WiFi. As needed, the user may switch between dark and bright modes. It is the same as Meteor, except users with restricted storage and RAM can use the SpeedTest Master Lite, which is less than 3MB in size.

FAST: The FAST Speed Test, powered by Netflix, evaluates your mobile or internet connection from anywhere in the globe. It's quick, simple, and ad-free, but it lacks functionality. FAST has a rating of 3.7 in the Apple app store and 4.4 in the Google Play store. 

Google Speed Test: If users do not want to download an app, the quickest method is to search Google speed test on the smartphone's Chrome browser. It should be the first result in Chrome, and users can examine their upload and download speeds, as well as their connection time.

Meteor: Meteor is an ad-free internet speed test tool that can be used to evaluate the speed of your mobile connection (on 3G, 4G LTE, or 5G networks) as well as WiFi speed testing. Users may also use this app to examine how well particular applications function and discover what they could accomplish with the available speeds.
