!!! To be able to share a Wi-Fi password from one iOS device to another, you need iOS 11 installed on both devices and Bluetooth is turned on. If both of these simple requirements are met, the case remains small.
In iOS 11, a lot of useful features have appeared, some of which cannot be detected simply by studying the settings of the operating system. One of these new features has become a feature that allows you to share your Wi-Fi password with another device as quickly and simply as possible. How this function works is described in this manual.
It is very important to know: during the transfer of the password, you will not see the password itself and you will not know it. Your smartphone will keep it encrypted, so no one will know it. You can use this connection without knowing the password itself.
