How to Quickly Share Your Wi-Fi Password on iPhone

Three proven methods for different situations.

1. How to share your Wi-Fi password on iPhone via sharing

• Difficulty: easy.
• Supported devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac.

The standard sharing feature allows you to share Wi-Fi passwords effortlessly. However, this will only work if the person has an Apple device and you are in each other's contacts (including email from the Apple ID account).

Open "Control Center" by swiping down from the top right corner and make sure that the hotspot mode is turned off on your iPhone, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on both devices.

Ask your friend to go to "Settings" → Wi-Fi and connect to your network, which will open the password entry field.

Bring your iPhone close to the other person's device, and a prompt to share the password will appear on your screen. Agree, and your friend's gadget will immediately connect to your network.

2. How to share your Wi-Fi password on iPhone from settings

• Difficulty: easy.
• Supported devices: any.

If you forgot or don't know your password, you can easily find it in the settings and then inform the other person. The beauty of this method is that you can share the password with the owner of any device.

Go to "Settings" → Wi-Fi and open the network you are connected to.

Tap on the "Password" field to display the combination. After that, click "Copy" and send the code via messenger or any other way. Alternatively, you can simply dictate or show the password to the person.

3. How to share your Wi-Fi password on iPhone via QR code

• Difficulty: medium.
• Supported devices: iPhone, iPad, Android devices.

This method is a bit more complex to set up, but very convenient during the actual password sharing process. It is suitable for any devices that have a camera. To connect, you only need to scan the QR code created through the standard automation tool "Shortcuts".

Launch "Shortcuts", go to the "Gallery" tab, and open the search.

Type the word Wi-Fi, select "QR Code for Wi-Fi," and click "Add." The shortcut will appear on the main tab.

Go to edit the shortcut and expand the SSID block, then enter your Wi-Fi network password in the "Default Answer" field and click "Done." You can find the combination using the previous method.

Now that the shortcut is set up, run it from the home screen and confirm the network name.

Then confirm the password, and a QR code for connecting will appear on the screen.

Ask the person to point their device's camera at your screen and click "Connect to Network," then confirm the action.
