Sharing WIFI password is much easier in the new iOS versions compared to the previous versions of iOS. We know that if we have to share WIFI network with nearby devices, we have to share it by sharing the password or by activating the WIFI hotspot. But with iOS 11, we can easily share WIFI password with the nearby devices. The best thing this feature is it is easy to perform. You don’t have to do anything or perform any method in order to share your password. You will just have to put your device near the iPhone which already has the network, and it will share the WIFI password. The whole process just takes a short period of time and is safe and secure in all terms. You can perform this method with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to share your password.

While considering this new feature, some people think that this process is not safe. Well, this is not true. The process is safe and secure and can be done on any of your iPhone or iPad. When you share the WIFI password, it only allows the device to connect to the WIFI without typing the password on it. It doesn’t allow seeing the actual password on the device. So it is a safe process. On the other hand, if we consider sharing settings and iCloud accounts, it only shares the data that is not sensitive including settings of your phone and iCloud accounts.
