Bloomberg: iOS 19 automatically syncs Wi-Fi networks from cafes, hotels and other public places to Apple devices
According to Mark Gurman's latest Power On, Apple is preparing a new feature for iOS 19 that will make it much easier to connect to public Wi-Fi networks, such as those in hotels or gyms. This feature, while not a big change, can save users a significant amount of time.
Here's What We Know
iOS 19 is expected to be one of the biggest software updates from Apple in recent times. However, in addition to major changes, the company is also preparing a number of smaller improvements, such as improved functionality for connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
According to a report from Gurman, the new feature will automatically synchronise new public Wi-Fi networks across all of the user's Apple devices. This means that users will no longer have to enter the necessary data in each of their devices to access the Internet. It will be enough to fill out the form once on one device, and Apple will do the rest.
Here's How It Works
For example, when you arrive at a new hotel, office, or gym, you often need to fill out a web form on all your devices to connect to Wi-Fi. With the new feature, it will be enough to do this on one device, and this information will be synchronised with other Apple products.
The annual Apple WWDC 2025 developer conference will take place from 9 to 13 June. During the keynote speech, Apple is expected to present new versions of its main software platforms: iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. This year, the company is expected to present an update with a more transparent design similar to visionOS with glass elements. A clue to this design can be found in the WWDC logo, which depicts the translucent number 25.
