If you do not see this option

• Older OxygenOS? OnePlus's OxygenOS 14 manual says the same: tap beside the network, then Share to generate a QR code. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual
• Scan on an iPhone? Point the Camera at the code. Source: Connect to Wi-Fi networks on your Android device

If this does not work

• Password visible? It shows in plain text under the code, so watch who sees your screen.
• They can't join? Check they are in range.
• Their camera won't read it? Use Google Lens, or the scan icon on their Wi-Fi page. Ours has one beside the three dots.

About this guide

Sharing shows a QR code that another phone can scan to join.

Good to know

Stop Wi-Fi turning on by itself on a OnePlus.

In short: Settings, Wi-Fi, i, Share.
