How to generate a Wi-Fi QR code on a Xiaomi Poco M3

If you want to share the password or key of the network your Xiaomi Poco M3 is connected to, and quickly set it up on another Android device (whether it's a Xiaomi or another brand), this tutorial will show you how. We'll guide you on using the native method included in Android 10 and later versions to generate a QR code with the Wi-Fi password.

The Xiaomi Poco M3 comes with Android 10 out of the box, though it may have received updates over time.

Once you generate the QR code on your Poco M3, you can scan it with the camera of the other device or download it as an image. This way, you can reuse the code whenever you need without repeating these steps.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

First of all, you must make sure that you are connected to the Wi-Fi network that you want to share from your Xiaomi. If so, access the Poco M3 settings by tapping the gear wheel icon. If you do not see it on the Xiaomi Poco M3 home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to find it.
