Apple is reportedly preparing to introduce a new feature in iOS 19 that will simplify the process of connecting to public Wi-Fi networks across its devices. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming update will enable iPhones, iPads, and Macs to share Wi-Fi credentials, allowing users to log in once and have access across all their Apple devices.

This enhancement is particularly beneficial in environments like hotels, offices, or gyms, where connecting to public Wi-Fi typically requires filling out web forms on each device. With iOS 19, users may only need to complete this process on one device, with the credentials syncing automatically to others, streamlining connectivity and saving time. (Gadgets 360)
The feature is expected to be unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, which begins on June 9. This addition aligns with Apple’s ongoing efforts to enhance the seamless integration of its ecosystem, building upon existing features like iCloud Keychain and AirDrop. (The Verge)
Beyond Wi-Fi syncing, iOS 19 is anticipated to introduce a significant design overhaul inspired by visionOS, featuring more rounded icons and a modern interface. Additionally, Apple Intelligence is expected to be integrated into more apps and features, further enhancing the user experience. (Tom’s Guide)
