Every iOS update brings a number of new features and some of them sometimes look quite minor on paper. Nonetheless, most of these minor features are developed with the intent of making Apple users’ lives easier eventually. iOS 19 is in development and we are slowly getting reports revealing every such minor improvement that the brand is working on.

Apple is working on a small but useful new feature for iOS 19 that will make connecting to public Wi-Fi networks much simpler, according to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter. According to Gurman, “This new feature will let you enter that information on one device and have it synced to your other products.”

The feature is designed for places like hotels, gyms, and other public spots where you usually have to fill out a form to get online. With iOS 19, Apple plans to change that.

Gurman says this new feature will let your iPhone automatically sync public Wi-Fi details across all your Apple devices. That means if you sign in on one device, you won’t have to go through the same process again on your iPad or Mac.

The report explains, “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 iOS 19 is expected to bring major changes, Apple is also adding thoughtful little improvements like this to make everyday tasks smoother.
