You No Longer Have to Open Settings to Switch & Connect to Wi-Fi on Your iPhone (FINALLY!) « iOS & iPhone :: Gadget Hacks

Figuring out the Wi-Fi at a new location is challenging enough. Connecting to said Wi-Fi should be as easy as possible. Unless someone you know is already connected on their iPhone, you’re probably used to the usual routine of heading to the Wi-Fi page in the Settings app to get yourself online. Luckily, there’s now a much better way to do so.

With iOS 13, you can now switch and connect to Wi-Fi directly in Control Center. Just open Control Center by either swiping down from the top right (Face ID iPhones) or swiping up from the bottom (Home button iPhones) of the display. Next, open the connections box in the top left via a long-press, then long-press the Wi-Fi symbol. Here, you’ll find a complete list of all available Wi-Fi networks, which you can connect to with a simple tap.
