Android
12 isn't exactly around the corner but it's nice to get bits and pieces that
tell us what to expect from the future OS.
The feature will allow
users to share WiFi passwords using the Nearby Share feature that’s built into
Android. The feature is Google’s take on Apple’s Airdrop technology, allowing
android phones to share data with each other without actual wired connections.
With the new feature, Android will add a nearby share button to the Share WiFi
page. Tapping the same will allow users to share a WiFi password from a phone
that’s connected to WiFi with one that isn’t, without physical interaction
between the phones.
Currently, Android 10
users and above can share Wi-Fi passwords using the generated QR code. With
Android 12, you won't even have to do that. The password sharing will be
integrated in the Nearby Share feature, allowing you to seamlessly send it to
trusted devices.
