One of the most interesting novelties of Android 10 has to do with the possibility of sharing the WiFi password through a simple QR code. Unfortunately, this option is not available in iOS 13. Nor does it seem that Apple cares, so we can deduce that it will not arrive with iOS 14. The good news is that we can create a QR code ourselves through third-party tools. Let's see how next.
First, create a QR code with your WiFi password
It is a fact, currently most routers have a QR code that allows them to transfer the password to any device with a QR reader. But this is not always the case. For this same reason we are forced to resort to external applications to share the password of our WiFi network QR code through. In this we will use the pure JS WiFi QR Code Generator website.
It is a very simple tool where we will only have to enter the name of our WiFi network, the type of encryption and the password to generate a QR code through Javascript commands. It is very important that all the fields respect the characters of the password and the SSID, that is, the public name of the WiFi. Uppercase, lowercase, bars, numbers and so on.
Once we have entered all the data, just click on Generate. A QR code will automatically be generated that we can print or save in PNG format in the Gallery of our phone. We recommend doing the latter so as not to lose it.
Regarding the security of the web, the creator of this script affirms that the page is completely secure and that it lacks a database to store user data. It also ensures that the information is never transferred to the web server, but is limited to being displayed in the user's session.
Open your iPhone camera and scan the code
Now, with the QR code saved as an image in the iOS Photos application, we will open the Camera application and point directly on the code that we have just generated.
IOS will automatically show us a notification that will allow us to connect to the WiFi network as long as our iPhone or iPad has iOS 11 or later versions.
