Mobile Hot Spot (Android Cell Phone)

If you're stuck in a situation where you need a Wi-Fi connection, but can't get it anywhere else, chances are your smartphone can give
you the boost you need. By setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot, you can turn your phone into a source for internet that laptops, tablets, and other
phones can use.

It may sound complicated, but you can be connected with just a few taps. Most of the major carriers offer tethering services, though
your ability to create a Wi-Fi hotspot depends on your service plan and data allowance.

How you access Wi-Fi hotspots on Android phones will depend on which device you have and which version of Android you're running.
If you navigate to Settings and search for "tether," it should appear, but here's an idea of what it looks like on some of the top Android
phone brands. To deactivate hotspot mode, navigate back to these settings and toggle them off.

Below you can see what it looks like on a Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 9.0 Pie. You can either pull down and tap the Mobile
Hotspot option in the menu to activate. Or navigate to Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > Mobile Hotspot and toggle it
on. A pop-up window will appear, where you can find the Wi-Fi password for devices that want to connect.
