Overview

  • Apple is reportedly working on a feature for iOS 19 that will sync public Wi-Fi login credentials across devices tied to the same Apple ID.
  • Users will only need to fill out a captive portal web form once on one device, and the system will automatically share the credentials with other Apple devices.
  • The feature is opt-in, requiring explicit user permission to enable synchronization for enhanced privacy control.
  • This addition is part of broader quality-of-life improvements in iOS 19, which is also rumored to include a visual refresh inspired by visionOS and expanded Apple Intelligence integration.
  • The feature is expected to be previewed at WWDC 2025 in June, with a public beta in July and a general release alongside new iPhones in September.
