In today’s interconnected world, sharing Wi-Fi passwords has become a common practice among friends, family, and coworkers. It’s great for connecting multiple devices in homes, offices, or public places. Thanks to the latest technology advances, wirelessly sharing your Wi-Fi password has never been easier! In this article, we will outline the step-by-step process of how you can wirelessly share your Wi-Fi password on iPhone and Android devices.

Sharing Wi-Fi Password on iPhone (iOS 11 and Later)

1. Make sure both devices – the one you want to share the password with and your own device- have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. Ensure they are running on iOS 11 or later versions.

2. Place both iPhones near each other.

3. On the iPhone looking to join the network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and select the desired network from the list.

4. When prompted to enter a password on the connecting iPhone, unlock the device hosting the Wi-Fi network.

5. A pop-up message will appear on the host iPhone asking if you’d like to “Share Your Wi-Fi.” Tap “Share Password.”

6. The connecting device will automatically receive the network password and join the Wi-Fi network.

7. Both devices will receive a confirmation message once the process is complete.

Sharing Wi-Fi Password on Android Devices (Android 10 and Later)

1. Make sure both devices have Bluetooth and Location turned ON (Android requires location permission for sharing Wi-Fi passwords).

2. For some devices running Android 10 or later, download and install a trusted QR code scanner app from Google Play Store if you don’t have one pre-installed.

3. On your Android device (Wi-Fi host), go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.

4. Tap on the connected network name (SSID) to access network details.

5. Underneath the network name and password, a QR code will be displayed.

6. The connecting Android device should open the QR code scanner app and scan the QR code displayed on the host device’s screen.

7. The scanner app will automatically recognize the Wi-Fi settings and prompt to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

8. Click “Connect” on the joining device, and it will automatically join the Wi-Fi network without entering a password.

Conclusion

Sharing your Wi-Fi password wirelessly is now simple and hassle-free. With iPhone users running iOS 11 or later, your friends can easily join your network with just a tap. Android users running Android 10 or later can use QR code scanning to quickly access Wi-Fi networks without manually entering passwords.
