Overview
- A new “Share network” toggle lets the primary profile decide if other user profiles can join a specific Wi‑Fi network without re-entering the password.
- The feature is currently visible in the Android Canary channel and is expected to reach a future Android update, possibly an Android 16 QPR3 or Android 16 beta, with no confirmed rollout date.
- Reports indicate the core behavior works as intended: disabling sharing requires other profiles to input the network credentials before connecting.
- A related option to let other profiles edit the network is present in settings but is not functioning in the Canary build.
- Coverage notes this addresses a longstanding issue where saved Wi‑Fi credentials were shared across profiles by default, improving privacy for families and shared household devices.
