Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to managing network connection settings of external devices. In some embodiments, an electronic device with a display and one or more wireless antennas, while the electronic device is connected, via the one or more wireless antennas, to a first local area network, displays a first external device management interface, wherein: the first external device management interface is associated with a first external device that is not connected to the first local area network; and the first external device management interface includes a first affordance. The electronic device receives a user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance and, in response to receiving the user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance, causes the first external device to connect to the first local area network.
