Learn how to share your Wi-Fi network password with friends and family.
- Make sure both devices have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or macOS.
- On both devices, turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and make sure each person is signed into their respective Apple Account. If either device has Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
- Make sure each person has the other person's Apple Account email or phone number saved in Contacts.
- Keep the devices close to each other.
- Ask the person requesting the password to tap the Wi-Fi network name on their device.
- Make sure that your own device (the one sharing the password) is unlocked and connected to Wi-Fi.
- When prompted on your device, tap Share Password, then tap Done.
If you still can't share your Wi-Fi password, try these steps, testing after each step:
- If you don't see the setup animation, restart both devices and try again.
- If you still can't share your Wi-Fi password, have the other person enter the password manually.
