Apple makes it easy to find out if a WiFi network is secure before you connect. Control Center lets you know right away if the networks your devices are connected to are password-protected. You don’t need any additional software or tools, just use the built-in settings on your iPhone. Here’s how to check the security of your WiFi on your iPhone.
How to quickly check WiFi security on iPhone
First, open the Control Center on your phone, then tap and hold the WiFi button. You will see a list of available networks. Networks that show a lock icon are password-protected, while those that don't are public networks.
The padlock icon at the WiFi network name makes it easy to distinguish between secure private networks and potentially risky public hotspots that don’t require a password. It’s a small improvement, but it helps you decide which WiFi network to connect to without having to dig into the settings, reducing the risk of connecting your iPhone or iPad to unsecure WiFi.
