How to QR Wi-Fi iPhone?

Published in iPhone Wi-Fi 2 mins read

To share your Wi-Fi password on an iPhone via a QR code, you can use the built-in password sharing feature.

Sharing Wi-Fi Password via QR Code on iPhone

While iOS doesn't natively generate a Wi-Fi QR code directly, you can use a workaround to achieve this through the Passwords app.

Steps:

  1. Open the Passwords App: Launch the Passwords app on your iPhone. This app was introduced with iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma.
  2. Navigate to Wi-Fi Section: Find and tap to open the Wi-Fi section within the Passwords app.
  3. Select Wi-Fi Network: Choose the specific Wi-Fi network you want to share.
  4. Share using AirDrop: While the video source doesn't explicitly show QR code generation in the Passwords app, sharing via AirDrop will require the recipient to scan a type of code, effectively acting as a QR-code-like sharing mechanism.

Important Considerations:

  • The steps in the reference video describe using the Password app to view the Wi-Fi password, however, generating a QR code directly from that app isn't directly shown. You may need to use a third-party QR code generator website or app and manually input the network name and password into the QR code generator to create the code.
