Apple's iOS 26 has unveiled two groundbreaking Wi-Fi features: Captive Assist and Wi-Fi Aware. Although Captive Assist was briefly mentioned in the code of the initial developer beta, Apple has yet to activate this feature, with its anticipated launch scheduled for a forthcoming software update later this year. In contrast, Wi-Fi Aware has already made its API available, empowering developers to detect and connect with nearby devices through Wi-Fi, thereby enabling local sharing and other advanced functionalities. The principle behind Wi-Fi Aware mirrors that of Apple's AirDrop.
