Get iOS 16’s Wi-Fi Password Sharing Feature in iOS 15 or Older Versions
Whether your iPhone does not support iOS 16 or you wish to get iOS 16’s password-sharing feature in iOS 15 or older versions, you would be glad to know that there are several apps that allow you to do so. However, the one that I have tried and found up to the mark is “Visual Codes.” You can use the Visual Codes app to easily create QR codes for sharing links, contact info, and Wi-Fi network. It lets you share and print to send codes to others. You can choose to print as a poster to fill the page with a large code or opt for a grid mode that allows you to fit multiple codes per sheet. What’s more, you can also customize the color palette with four styles such as default, bright, lilac, and subtle for a more personalized experience. One of my favourite features of this app is the ability to set a “Pinned Code” that enables you to access your favorite QR code without even launching Visual Codes, through Siri. It is available for free and supports iOS 13 or later. Read more: How to Fix iOS 16 Battery Drain Issue
