A new feature in iOS 19<\/a> reportedly will sync public Wi-Fi login and captive portal details across your Apple devices.<\/p>\n

iPhones already sync Wi-Fi network details across all devices connected to the same Apple ID. However, with public networks, a captive portal introduces additional steps. While small, the feature should make logging into hotel Wi-Fi networks more convenient.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apple wants to remove the hassle of logging into public Wi-Fi networks<\/h2>\n

Unlike regular Wi-Fi networks, connecting to a wireless network in hotels, airports or office buildings often brings up a captive portal. You must fill out your personal details before connecting to the internet. Every time you add a new Apple device to the Wi-Fi network, you have to repeat the process.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/em>‘s Mark Gurman, in his latest Power On<\/em> newsletter<\/a>, reveals that a new iOS 19 feature could resolve this inconvenience. It will sync your captive Wi-Fi access details across other Apple devices linked to your account, including iPad and Mac. So, once you connect your iPhone, you can seamlessly get your other devices onboard that network.<\/p>\n

Apple might introduce this feature as one of many quality-of-life improvements in iOS 19.<\/p>\n

iOS 19 could be all about its big visual overhaul<\/h3>\n

Leaks so far point to Apple focusing on a big visual redesign with iOS 19. The iPhone operating system supposedly will feature squircle icons and revamped system apps<\/a>, in line with the visionOS design language<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the next iOS release may not pack many new Apple Intelligence<\/a> features, it apparently will bring other major features. This includes external display support on iPhones with USB-C<\/a>, with a Stage Manager-like interface extending their screen space.<\/p>\n

The update also could improve AirPods, adding a live translation feature<\/a> that turns the earbuds into real-time translators.<\/p>\n

iPadOS 19 will sport even bigger features, with Apple purportedly bringing a macOS-like multitasking and app window management<\/a> to iPads.<\/p>\n

WWDC25<\/a> begins June 9, 2025, so we have less than a month to wait for Apple to take the wraps off all the iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 features.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
