Sharing Wi-Fi on an iPad, iPhone, or Mac
Sharing Wi-Fi passwords between Apple devices is a breeze, so long as both users have each other’s email addresses saved in their Contacts. You should also make sure that the most recent versions of iOS/iPadOS and macOS High Sierra are installed on both devices.
- Connect your gadgets wirelessly by turning on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (personal hotspot off). You’ll need to have the two gadgets close by, within range of the same Wi-Fi network, and unlocked to share an internet connection.
- You can share your Wi-Fi connection by asking the other person to switch to the network you want to use.
- A prompt will display on your smartphone, asking if you want to reveal the Wi-Fi password.
- To complete, select “Share Password.”
Sharing Wi-Fi on an Android Device
Sharing your Wi-Fi password through a QR code is possible on Android 10 and newer devices.
Please be aware that the below methods may require some tweaking to work with your specific device and Android version.
- Join the network you intend to broadcast from on your device.
- To use Wi-Fi, launch the settings app and navigate to Network and Internet (or Connections).
- Choose the Wi-Fi network by tapping the cogwheel symbol.
- Read the QR Code by Tapping It (or the share icon). The screen will display a QR code.
