Today, we’re turning our attention to Wi-Fi networks. Specifically, we’re going to talk about how to quickly switch between different Wi-Fi networks on your iOS device. Let’s get started!
Swift Wi-Fi Switching: A Quick Tweak
Most iPhone or iPad users would instinctively navigate to the Settings app and then tap Wi-Fi to change networks. However, there’s a faster and more straightforward way to do this – through the Control Center. This feature allows you to switch between networks without having to leave your current application or interrupt your workflow.
Steps to Swiftly Change Wi-Fi Networks on iOS
- Open the Control Center: If you’re using an iPhone X or later, or an iPad with iOS 12 or later, swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen. For older iPhone models, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Long Press the Wi-Fi icon: In the network settings card (the square with the Airplane mode, Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth icons), long-press the Wi-Fi icon.
- Select the Wi-Fi Network: The Wi-Fi control expands after the long press. Now, simply tap the Wi-Fi icon once more, and a list of available networks will show up. Choose the network you want to connect to.
Remember, this method assumes that you have previously connected to the Wi-Fi network and that your device remembers the password. If it’s a new network, you’ll need to enter the password, which will redirect you to the Wi-Fi settings in the Settings app.
And there you have it – a super quick way to switch between Wi-Fi networks on your iOS device. We hope this tip saves you some time and makes your tech experience even smoother.
