Connecting to a new Wi-Fi network is always troublesome. Not only do you need to enter the password correctly in your phone’s Wi-Fi settings, but the network owner usually doesn’t even remember the password, so you must check it before you can get started.
Moreover, there is an easy way to connect to the new Wi-Fi network on the iPhone. People who are already connected to the Wi-Fi network can share the password with one click, and your iPhone will automatically connect.
How to share a Wi-Fi password on the iPhone
In order to share a Wi-Fi password with these steps, both you and the recipient of the password need to be using an iOS device. It can be two iPhones, two iPads, or one of each, but this doesn’t work if one of the devices is an Android. Also, both of you need to be running iOS 12 or higher. If you run into a problem, fix any iPhone update issues and make sure you’re running the latest version of iOS.
In addition, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth should be turned on for both phones. To check, pull down the Control Center from the upper right corner of the screen or bottom of the screen on an iPhone 8 or earlier and make sure that both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons are illuminated in blue.
STEPS:
- The person who needs the Wi-Fi password should start the Settings app.
- Tap “Wi-Fi.”
- In the Choose a Network section, tap the network you want to join. You’ll see the Enter Password dialog box appear, but you won’t need to enter a password.
- The person who is already connected to the network should unlock their iPhone and bring it within the Bluetooth range of the other device (less than 30 feet).
- On the Wi-Fi password pop-up window, tap “Share Password.”
- After a moment, the other device will automatically receive the password and connect, and your phone will display a message that you were successful. Tap “Done.”
