connectivity_control is a Flutter plugin that provides detailed insights into active network interfaces on Android and iOS devices. It enables developers to check internet connectivity status, validate network availability, monitor data usage (metering), and assess bandwidth performance. The plugin offers real-time updates and low-level access to network interface details, making it ideal for apps requiring robust network awareness. It supports both platforms and integrates seamlessly with existing Flutter projects via a simple pub add command.
