How to Share Wi-Fi Password from iPhone to Another Device

Manually entering a Wi-Fi password can be tedious, especially when it’s long or complex. Luckily, Apple devices let you share your Wi-Fi password seamlessly—no typing required. In this guide, you’ll learn how to share Wi-Fi credentials from an iPhone to another iPhone, iPad, or Mac in seconds.

1. Meet the Requirements

Why it matters:
Password sharing only works if all conditions are met.

Steps:

1. Both devices must have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled.
2. Each must be signed in to iCloud.
3. Ensure the email address of the receiving device is saved in your Contacts.
