That seems like a weird feature to add. I have signed friends into my wifi network for them because I didn't want to share the password (and I use my guest network for IoT stuff). So, now they technically could go in and reveal the password if they wanted to know it. Not a big deal, but I'm not sure why making it possible to reveal passwords already typed in is every really a good idea from a security standpoint.
You've always been able to get the password for WiFi networks you have on your iPhone if you have iCloud Keychain by looking at them on your Mac. Entering a password for someone while expecting it to remain unknown to them is bad opsec.

The right way to do this is to use a unique password that you don't use anywhere else, and if your friend starts abusing your network or gives out the password without your permission, change it and don't give it to them anymore.
 
I’m confused, my calls have never ended when I press the side button. Even FaceTime calls just turn the screen off.
It typically happens to me if I press the power button very shortly after answering a call or after the person I've called has answered. Like...I pick the phone up to answer, and as I'm saying hello push the button and set my phone down = call ended. Once the call gets going, it doesn't seem to happen anymore. But it's been often enough that I've learned to just let the screen go off on its own.

Well, it was already possible if you had a Mac, since it would since the password to the Mac where this has been possible since the Mac supported Wi-Fi.

But, beyond that it's also simply the reality that far more people need to share their password than don't want their password shared.

Now do being able to delete CarPlay screenshots (or turn them off altogether) without an obscure shortcut
How often are you taking screenshots while driving and don't want CarPlay included? I wouldn't complain if a switch was added, I'm not against customization - this just seems like a non-issue.

You can also view your saved passwords in iCloud. It's because not every device is an iOS device where you can just "share" the Wi-Fi with them over Bluetooth.
 
Can someone explain this to me? I have always clicked the power button to turn off the screen while on a call and it would not hang up the call. What is this referring to?
It feels like I had mixed results when doing this. I can't remember why.
 
Like others have noted, Haptic Feedback is available under Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback

I didn't think I could feel it at first, but it's faintly there. Probably the right amount of feedback so it doesn't feel like a rumble, but I can imagine some might like the ability to increase it.
 
I have just updated iOS and another feature I did not know about is a hideous, thick font for the clock which seems incongruous with everything else. I don't know why, but it is already really getting to me! Does anyone know how/if it can be changed? Thank you.
I mean... yeah, one of the major new features is to customize your lock screen. Give it a try and you'll almost immediately come across font options for the clock.
 
Press on your Lock Screen, then press Customization, then select the Time on your iPhone and select a font, it's quite easy once you do it a few times! The fonts are atrociously bad, except for the original that is available.
 
I don't like the ability to see the wifi password - now when I provide people access to the wireless network at work, they can check to see the password and then share it with other employees etc. Gonna have to re-think my approach now.....

Well I looked at that, of course (long press and customise), and got options for photos, photo shuffle, emoji, weather, astronomy, colour etc., but I cannot see any option to change the clock font, or I would not have asked the question. I looked in settings, and cannot see a "Lock Screen" option.
