Okay so how do I find out the wifi password of a network an iOS device is connected to, using that device? On android it’s easy: go to Wi-Fi settings, hit “share”, show QR code.



That's just a normal security feature, passwords are input only. Just because Android lets you read them doesn't make it an ideal choice or any kind of standard. Besides, I don't want my kids to get the password from their devices and then share with their friends.

And how would that constitute lock-in anyway?


iOS 16 allows to look up a saved password.

I wonder why they didn't just add it in at the beginning, I can't imagine the implementation being that difficult


you are not my father!
