iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 updates include a feature that makes joining public Wi-Fi networks easier and convenient.
iOS 19 Will Make Public Wi-Fi Networks Much Easier to Use – Won’t Ask You to Enter Your Credentials Again on a Second Device
The biggest issue with Wi-Fi arises when you join a public or hotel network. The moment you enter the password or tap the network name, you’re instantly greeted with a screen that asks you for some credentials before you can go online.
The bad news is: that screen is not going away any time soon.
The good news is: Apple has figured out a way to make things a little convenient.
According to the latest report by Bloomberg, Apple is making some key changes to iOS 19 and iPadOS 19, especially in the department of how Wi-Fi works.
With the new update, when you enter your credentials for a public or hotel Wi-Fi network, on, let’s say, your iPhone, you don’t have to do it again on your other Apple devices such as your iPad.
You enter it once and the rest of your devices will handle the rest. Just like magic.
Those who find themselves traveling a lot will definitely find this useful. But I will stick to using cellular data because public Wi-Fi networks are never ever easy to join and use no matter how ‘convenient’ they might be.
Wi-Fi should be instant. You enter one password and you’re online, nothing else.
Apart from the above changes, iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 will feature huge design changes. And there’s even a chance that the update might feature Gemini AI integration, apart from ChatGPT.
