Android 12 features new, easier way to share Wi-Fi password

Washington [US]: Android 12 has rolled out a new feature titled ‘Nearby Share’ that will help a user to share a Wi-Fi password.

The feature has gone live in the Android 12 developer beta, which has recently become available to download, Mashable quoted a report by Android Police and XDADevelopers’ Mishaal Rahman.

To do it, open Settings, a user needs to go to Wi-Fi, select the network one wants, and tap ‘Share’. One will get the option to share the network via a QR code or through Nearby Share. If a user chooses the latter, the phone will look for nearby devices, and the person on the other device will get a notification, asking them to accept the share.
