Quickly share your Wi‑Fi network with friends and family without revealing or typing the password.
Introduction
If someone visits your home and wants to connect to your Wi‑Fi, there’s no need to read out a long password or search for the router sticker.
Apple devices include a built-in feature that allows you to securely share your Wi‑Fi password with another Apple device in just a few taps.

Before sharing a Wi‑Fi password, ensure:
✅ Both devices are Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, or Mac)
✅ Both devices have Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth enabled
✅ Both devices are near each other
✅ The person requesting access is in your Contacts
✅ Your iPhone is already connected to the Wi‑Fi network
How to Share a Wi‑Fi Password
Step 1: Unlock Both Devices
Ensure both devices are awake and unlocked.
Step 2: Connect the Guest Device
On the device that needs access: Select Settings > Wifi > select the Wifi Network
The device will ask for the password.
Step 3: Bring the Devices Together
Place both devices close to each other.
Within a few seconds, a message should appear on the connected iPhone.
Step 4: Tap Share Password
The password is transferred automatically.
The other device will connect to the network without displaying the actual password.
