How to share your Wi-Fi password across iPhones, Androids and other devices

Sharing Wi-Fi passwords can be a hassle, but modern smartphones make it easy to share access without typing or remembering long passwords. Both iPhones and Android devices support features to send Wi-Fi passwords quickly and securely. Apple devices have built-in functionality to share Wi-Fi passwords between iPhones, iPads, and Macs running the latest software. To share a Wi-Fi password between Apple devices, ensure both devices are near each other, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and select the same network. A pop-up will appear on the sender's iPhone asking to share the password, and tapping "Share Password" will send it to the receiving device. To share a Wi-Fi password from an iPhone to an Android device, create a QR code using the Shortcuts app or a third-party QR code generator, and have the Android user scan the code. Android devices running Android 10 or later can also share Wi-Fi credentials through a QR code. When sharing Wi-Fi passwords, avoid sending them over text or unsecured messaging apps and use QR codes or password-sharing features to reduce typing errors. If you encounter issues with Wi-Fi sharing, double-check that both devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on, restart both devices, and ensure they are unlocked and close to each other.
