This feature eliminates the need to remember or verbally share your password, making it convenient when friends or family want to connect. By following these steps, you’ll be able to securely share your Wi-Fi network with others in a few simple taps.
Step 1: Make Sure Both Devices Are Set Up
Before sharing your Wi-Fi password, confirm that both your iPhone and the receiving device are prepared. Follow these checks:

Step 3: Initiate the Connection on the Second Device
On the device that is requesting the Wi-Fi password, select the Wi-Fi network you wish to join. Ensure that the right network is selected, as notifications will only appear for that specific network.

- Tap Share Password on your iPhone screen.
- The other device will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network.

Step 5: Confirmation
Check that the device received and connected to the Wi-Fi successfully. A confirmation will show on both devices, indicating a successful connection.
