WiFi List lets iPhone users view previous Wi-Fi networks & their passwords

After you log into a Wi-Fi network on your iPhone, it will remember that network and connect to it automatically when in range. As you might come to expect, this means your handset keeps a database of previously used Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow users to access this information on their own devices out of the box.

If your iPhone is jailbroken, then you may be excited to learn that there’s a way around this frustrating quandary. A newly released and free jailbreak app dubbed WiFi List by iOS developer Itaybre consolidates all of your previously used Wi-Fi networks, their passwords, and more valuable information about them into one convenient place for future reference.

How to share your iPhone hotspot with family members

SmartNetwork helps you manage your iOS device’s network connections

Your iPhone and iPad are wireless communication devices that use either Wi-Fi or cellular connections to maintain a continuous flow of data to and from the device. But wouldn’t it be nice if Apple gave users more control over their handset’s network parameters?

Those looking to obtain more fine-grained control over their iPhone or iPad’s wireless networking may take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called SmartNetwork by iOS developer Elias Sfeir. As the name implies, this tweak offers a suite of features that let you manage your handset’s connections more effectively.

WiFiQR lets you share your currently-connected Wi-Fi network with a QR code

But now, a similar QR code-based jailbreak tweak called WiFiQR by iOS developer KingPuffDaddi has been released for sharing your currently-connected Wi-Fi network with others using comparable means to the tweak we showed you last week.
