Before you start sharing your WiFi passwords, there are a few requirements to ensure everything goes smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both devices need to be iPhones or iPads. This feature is built into iOS and iPadOS, so it won\u2019t work with non-Apple devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure both devices are running iOS 11 or later. Older versions do not support this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make sure you\u2019re ready to share WiFi passwords, follow these preparation steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure both iPhones are up to date. Go to Settings > General > Software Update<\/strong> to check for and install any available updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both WiFi and Bluetooth must be turned on for both devices. Swipe down from the top-right corner to open the Control Center and enable these features if they\u2019re not already on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The person you\u2019re sharing the password with needs to be in your Contacts list with their Apple ID email address. This ensures the devices recognize each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let\u2019s dive into the step-by-step process of sharing your WiFi password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your iPhone is connected to the WiFi network you want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring the iPhone that needs the WiFi connection close to the one that\u2019s already connected. They need to be within Bluetooth range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A prompt will appear on your connected iPhone asking if you want to share the WiFi password. Tap Share Password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The receiving iPhone will get a notification with the password automatically filled in. Simply tap Join<\/strong> to connect to the WiFi network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, things don\u2019t go as planned.
