How to view saved Wi-Fi passwords on your iPhone or iPad

Your saved Wi-Fi passwords used to be inaccessible on iPhones or iPads unless you unlocked them. Apple finally added the ability to check your saved Wi-Fi passwords in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. You can now view saved Wi-Fi details on iPhone or iPad just like you can view Wi-Fi details on a Mac, Android phone, or Windows PC.

To find a saved Wi-Fi password, open the Settings app, then tap “Wi-Fi.”

Open the "Settings app, then tap" Wifi ".

Touch the name of your current Wi-Fi network to view its details.

Tap your current network. "example network" in this case.

Then just tap on the “Password” section. You will need to use your device’s PIN, FaceID, or TouchID to reveal the password.

The message to copy the password will appear automatically.

If you want to see any of the previous networks you’ve connected to, just tap the “Edit” button in the top right corner.

touch the button "Edit".

You will see a complete list of Wi-Fi networks. Select the one you want.

Tap the name of a Wi-Fi network you've connected to before.
