How to Share your WiFi Password on iPhone and Android 2025

Whether hosting friends or setting up new devices, there’s one essential item you’ll always need handy – your WiFi password!

With new high-speed wireless technology, like WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E , supporting multiple devices on a reliable connection has never been easier. 

WiFi-sharing features on iOS and Android make connecting new devices to your network a breeze. There’s no need to rattle off complicated codes or double-check for typos; follow these quick tips for simple connectivity.

Share WiFi passwords on iPhone

iPhones, Macs, and other iOS devices can share WiFi passwords seamlessly. 

Note: Before you can share, make sure your iOS devices are signed into iCloud and updated to the latest version of iOS. Then, you’ll need to save the email associated with your Apple ID to the other person’s contacts and save their Apple ID email to yours. This method only works if both devices are iOS and have the email associated with an Apple ID saved to each other’s contacts.

Now, follow these easy steps:

1. Connect Devices to Bluetooth and WiFi

2. Find the WiFi network you’re trying to join

On the other person’s device, go to Settings -> WiFi, then click on the network you want to join. You can also access the network list by holding down the WiFi icon in the control center after swiping down on the top-right corner of the screen.

3. Share the password

On your device, a pop-up should appear asking if you want to share the WiFi password.

Click “Share Password,” and the other device will automatically connect!

How to Share WiFi with a QR Code on iPhone

You can now create QR codes to share your WiFi connection with the new Passwords app on devices running iOS 18 and beyond. This method is more straightforward and user-friendly and doesn’t require you to save an iOS email to your contact.

Plus, it works for both iOS and Android, which is much more convenient.

Users can scan your generated QR code and quickly connect to your WiFi. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Passwords app on iOS 18 or beyond device.

2. Click WiFi

3. Select your WiFi network

4. Tap “Show Network QR Code” and your device will generate a QR code

5. On the device you want to connect, open the camera app and scan

6. Click on the pop-up and click “Join.”

Scanning the QR code will work for both iPhone and Android Devices! You can also print the QR code if you plan to have company over.

Where can I find my WiFi password on iPhone?

Go to Settings, then WiFi. Click on the circular “i” icon of the network you are currently connected to.

Then, click on the dots next to “Password,” and you’ll be able to see and copy it.

Share WiFi passwords on Android

Like iOS, Android can quickly share WiFi passwords with other devices. The easiest way to do this is by generating a QR code to connect guests to your WiFi.

1. Select your WiFi network

Go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> WiFi, then click the gear icon next to your WiFi network’s name.

2. Generate the QR code

In the pop-up panel, click “Share,” and your Android device will generate a QR code.

3. Scan the QR code

Open the camera app on your device and scan the QR code. This works for both Android and iOS devices! 

Where can I find my WiFi password on Android?

Go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> WiFi, then click the gear icon next to your WiFi network’s name. Click “Share,” and underneath the QR code, you’ll be able to see your WiFi password!

How do I share my WiFi password between Android and iPhone?

Android and iPhone notoriously don’t get along too well (which is mostly Apple’s fault), but we still have a few tips for quick WiFi sharing.

WiFi Sharing from Android to iPhone

Use Android’s built-in QR code generator to share WiFi passwords quickly. If you’re on an up-to-date iPhone, you can use your camera app to scan the QR code and connect to the network. 

WiFi Sharing from iPhone to Android

Apple devices on iOS 18 and beyond can also generate QR codes for quick WiFi sharing on the Passwords app. Besides manual entry, this is the only way to quickly share a WiFi connection from an iPhone to an Android device.
