Hidden networks will not appear in your accessible networks list. As a result, if you want to connect to a secret network, you'll need to know the network's name and password in advance (if password-protected). So, here's how to connect your new iPhone to a covert network: \

1. Go to your **Home screen** and **select Settings** from the drop-down menu.
2. **Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on** by tapping it.
3. Under the **Choose a Network section**, tap Other.
4. Put the exact name of the wireless network you wish to join in the box below.
5. Select **Security.**
6. Choose a security level. The security type is **set to WPA2 Personal** by default (AES). It is by far the most secure kind of Wi-Fi security available, and it is recommended for all users. If you're not sure which security type is being utilized, ask your network administrator or service provider for help.
7. To **return to the previous screen**, tap Other Network.
8. In the **Password area,** type the network password.
9. Join by using the **Join button.**

Wait for your device to confirm your network credentials. You'll notice a checkmark next to the network name and a Wi-Fi signal strength indicator in the upper-left corner of your screen once you've successfully connected the network.
