Android 12 will allow share Wi-Fi passwords with nearby devices

 


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.
