How to tell if my iPad is connected to WiFi using WPA3, WPA2, or no security at all?

Question

In Settings > Wi-Fi, I tapped the i-in-circle info icon to get details on a network connection. But I did not notice any mention of what encryption might be in use.

Answer 1

If a Wi-Fi network has a lock next to its name, it's a password-protected network.

This is the only information given by iOS by the Settings app.

iOS APIs don’t provide this information to third party apps. NEHotspotNetwork provides various network information as described in that Apple documentation page (accessible if the app has the entitlement) but not the network security.

If your iOS device is jailbroken, you can install GoodWifi. This shows the network security in the list of networks in the Settings app.
