My iPhone has a pre-defined "Make QR Code" "Starter Shortcut" that you can invoke by typing "Make QR Code" in Home screen search. It basically generates a QR code of the same WIFI:S:$SSID;P:$PASSWORD;; format as wificard.io.

My Pixel 4a can also generate a QR by opening a particular network in the settings app and pressing «share».


I'm pretty sure most phone can do that today. I know most Android can.


My Honor Nova5t running Android 10 also did this, when I clicked on connected wifi's name.


What? That’s awesome I had no idea that came built in! Pretty cool!


Samsung Galaxy Ultra 21 can do this too.
