It describes service discovery, mandatory six-digit PIN pairing, and an encrypted IPv6 data link without an access point, DHCP server, or internet connection. On supported devices running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26, the connection can operate concurrently with normal Wi-Fi connectivity. ### Source excerpt iOS 26 brings Wi-Fi Aware™ support on iPhone 12 and later, enabling compatible devices to securely discover, pair, and communicate directly. This requires no Access Point and does not affect iPhone's network connectivity over Wi-Fi. This article walks through the steps to set up an ESP device and an iPhone so they can pair and connect using Wi-Fi Aware. ## Introducing ESP-IDF button component DevFeed: [Introducing ESP-IDF button component]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: John Lee Published: 2026-02-18T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Blog on Developer Portal]() Topics: [ESP-IDF](), [Embedded Systems](), [ESP32](), [Embedded Software Dev](), [Code]() Tags: [adc](), [blog](), [callback](), [community-software](), [embedded](), [embedded-systems](), [esp-idf](), [esp-idf-component](), [esp32](), [examples](), [gpio](), [home-automation](), [how-to](), [iot](), [practitioner](), [tutorial](), [wi-fi]() ### AI overview This tutorial introduces the ESP-IDF button component and shows how to handle physical buttons in ESP32 projects.
