If you've got friends over, it's much easier to simply share your password instantly using your smartphone than it is to recite 20 random characters and hope they get it right first time. While iPhones can trade Wi-Fi details to other iOS contacts, and Android can use QR codes to share them with iPhones and other Android devices, getting a password from an iPhone to an Android phone requires a little more effort. Fortunately, you don't have to resort to reading out the confusing string of letters and numbers that is your password.

Instead, all you need to do is make the iPhone express the password data in a form the Android will understand: a QR code. By using iOS' under-appreciated Shortcuts app, you can quickly set up a code you can then use (or screenshot and reuse again) any time you have an Android user visit your place.

Open the Shortcuts app. You may not have used this very handy app before, but it's installed by default on your iPhone. It uses the icon below if you need to search for it, or want to make sure you have the right app in the App Store if you need to reinstall it.

3. Run the shortcut. You can do this either by pressing the Play button on the shortcut when you've got it open, tapping the icon in the main Shortcuts app, or by setting up a widget.
