Do you often find yourself in situations where your friends or guests ask for your WiFi password? Sharing the password can be a bit of a hassle, especially if it’s a long and complex one. Luckily, if you own an iPhone, there’s a convenient way to share your WiFi password with others effortlessly.

Sharing WiFi Password on iPhone

Step 1: Before you begin, make sure that both your iPhone and the device you want to share the password with are connected to the same WiFi network.

Step 2: On your iPhone, navigate to the Settings app by tapping on the grey gear icon on your home screen.

Step 3: Scroll down and tap on “WiFi” to access the WiFi settings.

Step 4: You will see a list of available WiFi networks. Find the network you are currently connected to and tap on the blue “i” icon next to it.

Note: If you are not connected to any WiFi network, go back to Step 1 and connect to one before proceeding further.

Step 5: Scroll down until you find the “Share Password” option. Tap on it.

A pop-up will appear displaying a QR code containing the WiFi information. This code can be scanned by another iPhone or iPad running iOS 11 or later.

If both devices are running iOS 11 or later, move onto Step 6. Otherwise, proceed directly to Step 7 for older iOS versions.

iOS 11 or Later

  • Instruct your friend or guest to open their iPhone’s camera app.
  • Aim their camera at the QR code on your screen and make sure it is within the frame.
  • A notification banner will appear at the top of their screen, displaying the WiFi network name.
  • They can tap on this banner to automatically join the network without manually entering the password.

iOS 10 or Earlier

Step 7: If your friend or guest is using an older iOS version, you’ll need to enter the password manually. Provide them with the network name and password displayed on your iPhone’s screen.

Step 8: On their iPhone, ask them to open the Settings app and navigate to “WiFi”.

Step 9: In the list of available networks, they should find and select the network you want to share.

Step 10: They will be prompted to enter the password. Once they have successfully entered it, they will be connected to the WiFi network.

In Conclusion

Sharing your WiFi password with others has never been easier on an iPhone. With just a few taps, you can save your guests from the hassle of typing in a complex password. Whether it’s a QR code or manual entry, your friends will be connected in no time!

So next time someone asks for your WiFi password, impress them with this nifty trick and make their experience more convenient. Happy sharing!
