share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone to an Android device

Sharing your home / workplace network does not imply that you must distribute the password as if it were a business card. You don’t have to SMS the information, put it on a folded love note, or send it over email. To distribute the information, all you need to do is produce a QR code.

So, How to share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone to an Android device?

This article explains how to transfer your Wi-Fi password from that of an iPhone to an Android smartphone. Following that, we’ll teach you how to share a network password with an iPhone running vanilla Android 11 and a Samsung phone running Android 10. The approaches are incredibly easy and significantly more safe than distributing passwords in written & texted versions.

Transfer the network password from your iPhone to your Android device

Because iOS lacks a built-in QR code generator like Android, you must use an app such as Qrafter or Visual Codes. We’ll be using the latter app in this article, which needs iOS 11 or later. In this case, it’s free to use, but you may pay $1 to unlock the Share and Print Codes option and another $2 to store scanned codes.

On the iPhone

1: Tap to open Visual Codes.
2: Click the Add Code button.
3: Select the Connect to WiFi option.
4: In the Name field, type the SSID of the network.
5: In the Password area, enter your password.
6: In the Label area, give the stored code a name.
7: Select Create Code.
8: Tap the Create Code button one again to confirm.
9: You should see a QR code with the name you placed into the Label box on the Codes page. To acquire the entire scannable code, tap whatever code you just produced.

On the Android platform

1: Open your Camera app by tapping.
2: Align the device so that it can scan the QR code displayed on the iPhone.
3: As seen above, tap the Wi-Fi network pop-up to join your Android smartphone to the network.
