Missing feature "you can also access this wifi network by bringing your mac" when connecting to Wi-fi from Catalina or iOS13

Hi, I'm trying to share the Wi-fi password to my Mac and to my iPhone.

The feature doesn't work. Moreover, I'm wondering why I don't see the message "you can also access this wifi network by bringing your mac..." when connecting to any wifi.

I'm running Catalina on my Mac and iOS 13 on my iphone.


Are there special steps I have to do in order to enable this?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities parov,


I see that you're unable to share your Wi-Fi password from your devices. I can understand needing this feature to work, and I'd be happy to help.


If you're trying to share the password from your iPhone to your Mac, take a look at the article below for some steps to help.

If this is not what you're trying to do, or the issue remains after going through these articles, respond back with some more details. Have you been able to share the Wi-Fi password with other devices in the past? If you restart both devices, does the issue remain?
