From the name itself, Wi-Fi sharing, this feature lets you access wirelessly the network of your friends easily without dreading to enter the password one by one or searching the back of the router just to gain internet access.

Part 2. How does iOS 11 Wi-Fi Sharing Work?

The iOS 11 Wi-Fi sharing is so simple and easy to do. For example, when you have an iPad with iOS 11 connected to a wireless network and then a friend arrives with an iPhone running on iOS 11, you can let him join your wireless connection on just a single tap. If the devices are close to each other, there will be a pop up on the iPad that an iOS device is attempting to join the network with the password field ready on display.

The iPad can easily send the password with just a tap and the password field will be auto-populated on the iPhone. The iPhone can also request to join the network by simply pressing and holding on the network name and near an unlocked iPad that has the password and the iPad will confirm the connection when it receives a pop-up request. To better understand how iOS 11 Wi-Fi sharing works, refer below:
