Interestingly enough when I tried this with my wife (I have an iPhone 6S Plus and she has a 6S) this did not work until we both turned on Hand Off as well.

And being teenagers, they didn't come alone. They brought two things: 1. Something in their pocket: An iPhone. 2. A question in their mind: What's your wi-fi password? Do You Want to Know a Secret? Thanks to a new feature in iOS 11, it's easy to share the password to your home wi-fi network with your friends without revealing it or having to type it into every guest's device. This shortcut to wi-fi connectivity can be used with an iOS device (iPhone, Pad, iPod) running iOS 11, as well as a Mac running macOS High Sierra. Allow us to demonstrate using an iPhone and wi-fi network and a friend's iPod Touch. Here are three simple steps [Note: If your friend is already in your contacts and already has Bluetooth enabled, you just can skip to Step 3!]. . Step 1: Add your friend to your Contacts app . Step 2: Turn on Bluetooth on both your iPhone and your friend's iPod Touch . Step 3: With your device nearby, have your friend join your wi-fi network Step 1: Add your friend to your Contacts app 1. On your iPhone, tap Contacts. 2. Tap the Add button. 3. Enter contact data for your friend and tap Done. Step 2: Turn on Bluetooth on both your iPhone and your friend's iPod Touch 1. Tap Settings. 2. Tap Bluetooth. 3. Tap the Bluetooth switch to turn it on. Step 3: With your device nearby, have your friend join your wi-fi network 1. On the iPod Touch, tap Settings. 2. Tap Wi-Fi. 3. Tap the name of the wi-fi network. 4. When your friend taps the name of your network, a password box will be displayed the iPod Touch and a card will appear on your iPhone. Tap Share Password and the wi-fi connection will occur on your friend's iPod Touch without he or she having to lift a finger. 5. When the connection is complete on the iPod Touch, you'll be notified on your iPhone. Tap Done.
