A messaging app allows users to send photos. A user enables airplane mode, sends a photo, and then disables airplane mode. The photo is not sent. What should the app do to handle this scenario correctly?

Queue the photo and send it automatically when connectivity is restored.

Disable the send button when the device is in airplane mode.

Save the photo to the device but require the user to manually resend it.

Discard the photo and show an error message.

A video conferencing app is used in an office with both Wi-Fi and cellular networks. During a test, a user moves from a Wi-Fi area to a cellular area, and the call quality degrades significantly. The app does not automatically switch to the better network. What is the most likely cause?

The app does not monitor network quality and switch to the best available network.

The cellular network is not 5G.

What is a key aspect to test when a mobile app transitions from Wi-Fi to cellular?

The app continues to function without interruption and handles the change in network characteristics.

The app automatically switches to Bluetooth to maintain a stable connection.

The app disables all network features to save data.

The app restarts to reinitialize the network stack.

During a connectivity transition test, what should be verified about ongoing data transfers?

Transfers are immediately cancelled to avoid data corruption.

Transfers are paused indefinitely until the user manually resumes them.

Transfers either complete successfully or are properly resumed after the transition.

Transfers are duplicated to ensure delivery.

What is a key scenario to test for a Bluetooth-enabled app that connects to a wearable device?

Changing the wearable's IP address.

Switching the wearable to a different cellular network.

Ensuring the wearable can connect to Wi-Fi.

Reconnection after the wearable goes out of range and comes back.
