"You may not give this feature a second thought, but allow me to set a scene for you. Say you're having visitors for the holidays and want to grant them access to your Wi-Fi network. Instead of making the password public (so anyone can use it), you could share the Wi-Fi credentials via QR code. Not only does this approach simplify adding another device to the network, but it also does so with a nod to security."
"Open Settings > 'Network and Internet' > Internet, and tap the network you want to share. At the top of the resulting page, tap Share and verify it's you via biometrics or password/PIN. A new page will open with a QR code for the selected Wi-Fi network. Present the QR code to whoever you want to scan it with their phone, a process that automatically adds the network to their device."
Android contains several lesser-known features that benefit casual and new users. Wi‑Fi networks can be shared securely and conveniently via QR codes, enabling guests to join without revealing passwords. Users can generate a QR code by opening Settings > 'Network and Internet' > Internet, selecting the network, tapping Share, and verifying identity with biometrics or PIN; scanning the code automatically adds the network to the other device. Android's Developer options are available to any user and unlock a wide range of advanced settings and tools for customization, debugging, and performance tweaks.
