According to the latest edition of the Power On newsletter from Mark Gurman, Apple is readying a small, yet helpful new feature for iOS 19. This feature has to do with public Wi-Fi networks, such as one at a hotel or a gym, and it’ll save you a lot of time.
iOS 19 is anticipated to be one of Apple’s largest software overhauls in quite some time. That said, Apple still has a number of smaller quality of life improvements in the pipeline, such as this new public Wi-Fi enhancement.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this new feature will automatically sync new public Wi-Fi networks across your entire Apple ecosystem, saving you the hassle of needing to fill out the commonly-needed public Wi-Fi form on each of your devices. You’ll just need to fill it out on one, and Apple will figure out the rest.
From the report:
What does this mean? Well, when you go to a new hotel, office building or gym, you’re often asked to fill out a web form on all your devices before you can access the internet. This new feature will let you enter that information on one device and have it synched to your other products. That should make things a bit more convenient next time you need to access a new Wi-Fi network.
While this isn’t a feature I would’ve ever thought of asking for, it does sound quite nifty. I’ll always appreciate Apple ecosystem time-saver features like this one.
