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. No more dictating "uppercase B, lowercase 3, special character…". No more screenshots of the router sticker. HOW IT WORKS 1. 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.
