Apple’s newly previewed iOS 16 allows users to view their WiFi network password.

According to MacRumors, the iOS 16 developer preview includes the ability to view and even copy a WiFi password to share with friends or family.

In iOS 15, the feature was not available.

According to the report, when users open the WiFi section in the Settings section and then tap on the network to which they are connected, a new ‘Password’ option appears. Tapping it displays the WiFi network’s password.

To view a stored password, users must first authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode.

According to the report, it is a useful feature if users need to share a password with someone else or connect to a non-Apple device where sharing is not automatically available.

Apple has previewed iOS 16, as well as iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, and watchOS 9, and has confirmed that public betas of these operating systems will be available in July via the company’s testing website.

According to Apple, iOS 16 is the most significant update to the Lock Screen ever, with new features that make it more personal and useful.
