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.
- 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.”
- Tap “Wi-Fi.”
- Make sure you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to share.
- Tap the (i) icon next to the Wi-Fi network’s name.
- 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.
- Tap the network’s name.
- A password field will appear. Manually enter the Wi-Fi password from the iPhone.
- 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.
