Do you want a very easy way to find your Wi-Fi password quickly on your iPhone? I think all of us have been in an situation where the Wi-Fi password is just that little bit out of reach.
Whether you’ve bought a new product and need to put the network password in for the first time or if you’ve got guests round and they want to connect to your Wi-Fi, these iOS 16 features make daily life that little bit easier.
Since iOS 11, your iPhone has had a super-easy way to share your Wi-Fi password with others who ask for it. In fact, all you need is to make sure that the person asking for the password is already a contact in your address book and has Bluetooth enabled. When they go to enter their Wi-Fi password you’ll be prompted to share. It’s magic.
iOS 16 now gives us several more robust options that we’ve wanted for quite some time such as seeing your Wi-Fi network passwords and deleting old networks from your history.
