Does iPhone/iPad Save WiFi Password?
When it comes to iPhones and other iOS devices, the question of whether or not your iPhone can save WiFi passwords is a common one. The answer is yes, your iPhone can save WiFi passwords. With iOS 16, iPhones now have the ability to store and remember WiFi passwords, so you don’t have to enter the password each time you want to access the same WiFi network. This means that once you enter the password on your Mac or iOS device, it will be saved on your iPhone for future use by cookies. You can then view the saved passwords in Settings > Wi-Fi > “i” next to the name of your Wi-Fi network to help you view and access the WiFi network without having to re-enter the password every time. The passwords saved on your iPhone are encrypted, so only you can see them. So if you have an iPhone running at least iOS 16 or later, rest assured that your iPhone can save and remember your WiFi passwords for easy access!
