Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus that performs wireless communication with an external apparatus includes one or more memories, and one or more processors in communication with the one or more memories, wherein the one or more memories and the one or more processors are configured to receive selection of one environment from a plurality of environments as a use environment of the information processing apparatus, and perform notification of a warning regarding a setting of wireless communication, in a case where the selected environment is one of predetermined environments and the setting with a relatively low security strength among settings for encryption processing for the wireless communication is set, and not to perform the notification of the warning in a case where the predetermined environment is not selected, wherein the predetermined environments include a work-at-home environment, a co-working space environment, a shared office environment, and a Wi-Fi hot spot environment.
