Share your Wi-Fi with a QR code your guests scan. They point their camera and join: no app to install, no password to type, any phone, even offline.

Save a network: detect the one you're connected to, type it in, or scan its Wi-Fi QR code 2. Tap Share and choose "Show a QR code" or "Send to a nearby phone" 3. Your guest scans the QR with their camera, or accepts your send. They're online.
