iOS 16 has a feature that not all Android devices have

Besides, Apple also added a few small features that are extremely useful in daily life.

Specifically, on iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, Apple allows users to directly view the previously successfully connected Wi-Fi network password, and even copy the password to the clipboard so that users can view it directly. share to others. To do this, users will need to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. This is a fairly new feature and not all smartphones support it, even Android devices.

On Android, depending on smartphone brands, the device will have its own Wi-Fi network manager, but most do not support viewing Wi-Fi passwords directly, instead Android allows users to share Wi-Fi networks. via QR code, that is, someone else will scan the QR code inside with the password to connect directly to Wi-Fi. For those who just want to know the Wi-Fi network password to connect to the computer, they will have to "decode" the QR code themselves.

Currently on stock Android 12 (installed on Pixel devices), Google allows users to see passwords directly, but will have to authenticate with fingerprints or Face ID, similar to iOS 16.

Pixel devices with Android 12 can also view Wi-Fi passwords with QR codes
