How to Share Wi-Fi Password from iPhone to Android

Sharing a Wi-Fi password from an iPhone to an Android device can be done using a feature called “Wi-Fi password sharing” or by manually entering the password. Here’s how you can do it:


Using Wi-Fi Password Sharing (Requires iOS 11 or Later):

Make sure both devices are nearby, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on both. On the iPhone:

  • Connect your iPhone to the Wi-Fi network you want to share.
  • Unlock your iPhone.

On the Android Device:

  • Unlock your Android device.
  • Ensure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on.

Bring the Android device close to the iPhone.

A prompt should appear on your Android device: “Wi-Fi Password” with the network name (SSID) and a “Join” button.

Tap “Join” on the Android device.

  • The iPhone will send the Wi-Fi password directly to the Android device over a secure Bluetooth connection.
  1. The Android device should now connect to the Wi-Fi network without you needing to manually enter the password.


Manually Sharing the Wi-Fi Password:

If the Wi-Fi password sharing feature is not available or not working, you can share the Wi-Fi password manually:

On the iPhone:

  • Unlock your iPhone.
  • Go to “Settings.”
  1. Tap “Wi-Fi.”
  2. Make sure you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to share.
  3. Tap the (i) icon next to the Wi-Fi network’s name.
  4. On the next screen, you will see the Wi-Fi password.
  • This is where you can view the password to share it manually.

On the Android Device:

  • Open the Wi-Fi settings.
  • Find the network you want to connect to.
  1. Tap the network’s name.
  2. A password field will appear. Manually enter the Wi-Fi password from the iPhone.
  3. Tap “Connect” or “Join.”

The Android device should now connect to the Wi-Fi network using the password you manually entered. This method is useful if Wi-Fi password sharing isn’t supported on your iPhone or if the devices are not in close proximity for automatic sharing.
