WiFi sharing page in Settings improvements

Feature Requests

The WiFi sharing in Settings does not display a QRcode but it would be nice to have like in this picture below (data are fake, just for example):

The suggested password is to short, it should be 2x longer and this is the reason because a QRcode would be nice to have. After having inserted the PIN code (or the fingerprint) to unlock the password view then the QRcode can be created and shown.

The Qr-Clip app implemented the QRcode creation for the text not for the WiFi access. However, the creation of the Wifi access is nothing else than a string with a specific format (here).

Would be also nice that tethering will auto-disable is after N minutes there is no any client that use the hot-spot. Where N minutes and enabling this function would be nice to have in the UI of the wifi-sharing settings page.

Once, the number of clients connected has been collected could be also shown in the wifi-sharing settings page, as well. The option to block or allow one in particular filtering the mac-address will complete the picture.

I fully concur with the original feature request:

WiFi sharing in the Settings app should display a QRcode.
The format is more pre less standardised, AFAIR.

The pile of other ideas denoted is rather distracting from the essential feature (request) and should be file separately, IMO.

Thanks for highlight this aspect, I have changed the title of the post accordingly, from this:

to this:

  • WiFi sharing page in Settings improvements

I hope you will appreciate more my “pile of ideas” under this new title. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
