A good server always share Wi-Fi with visitors, but explaining which networks to join and spelling out the password (if you can even remember it) can get tedious. Can you think you remember it but it doesn’t work and you claim your guest must have typed it wrong. Then it hits you: You’re re-reading your email password. Hey, it can happen to anyone.
There is a much easier way to provide Wi-Fi connectivity to your guests. If your router offers the option to create a guest network, we recommend using this option as it helps you maintain secure Wi-Fi network, then that’s the password you should give them. Either way, here’s a quick and easy way to share Wi-Fi access across different devices.

Sharing Wi-Fi passwords between Apple devices is easy, but your visitors need to be listed in your Contacts with their email addresses, and vice versa. Once you’re in each other’s Contacts, make sure your iPhone and iPad are running the latest iOS and your Mac is running macOS High Sierra or later. Here’s how to share your Wi-Fi password between Apple devices:
- Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices, make sure Personal Hotspot is turned off, and make sure their devices are unlocked and nearby.
- Your device must be connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to share. (Switch to a guest network if that’s what you’re sharing.)
- Ask your guests to choose your Wi-Fi network from the list of options available on their device.
- You’ll get a pop-up message on your device asking if you want to share your Wi-Fi password.
- Clap Share password and Accomplished.
