Sitting here thinking, why pay $100 on internet service when you already paying monthly unlimited internet on your phone for $100+ on your phone that you can use it on your desktop or laptop. Sure. its slower, but as long as you are not using for trading or online gaming is great. The problem is my phone gets super HOT.

Cheers!
Thank you for this video. I was in a pinch and it was really helpful.
thank you❤
Is there any firewall for your mobile hotspot?
Yes good idea good idea
If I turn off my iPhone's cellular connection, connect the phone to a public WiFi such as in a coffee shop or airport, then activate the phone's hotspot and use my computer (iPad and/or Chromebook) on the internet from my iPhone hotspot, is the data on my computer still vulnerable or does the phone act as a sort of cutout or vpn? I don't type in any passwords in such a situation. Can PCMag (or someone reading this) answer that question?

I'm not too knowledgable about this kind of thing, but I feel like your data should be fine if your using a modern computer especially a mac, but if you still feel unsafe I would download a vpn. Personally I don't like apple computers but I will admit one thing they are really secure.
I had to twice check what’s the year the video was published.

Androi. Do you know how to set up a phone as a hotspot to allow someone to use it with a password but then block that person from setting up their phone as a hotspot and allowing others to use it, in other words let's say I wanted to sell my hotspot for £1 to user 1 who then opens their hotspot with user 2, can I prevent user 1 from sharing my hotspot

Please make a video on how to charge your iPhone, I'm really struggling with it right now. I have only got 13% battery 🔋 left on my smartphone . I don't know what I will do once my phone runs out of Juice 🥤.

@Firoz Khan how ? I don't know how to do that. That's why I am asking for a tutorial on that so that I can charge my phone.

@Firoz Khan what's this charger & Socket. Never heard of this stuff. A video might help.
Is there any way to make your phone only run internet while hotspotting? In other words i dont want any apps running in the background, no phone calls no texts, no nothing but being a hotspot.
Please lose the irritating background music.

It's slow though
True but the WiFi never had internet access
Not what I thought it was ‼️ Lol, had to escape ‼️ HAHAHA
Annoying music.
This is NOT turning your phone into a hot spot. You are describing USEING YOUR WI=FI. I just love people with an intellectual value. Don't you?

What are you talking about? It literally uses your phone as a source of internet to provide for any thing that will work off a wifi connection. That is the definition of mobile hotspot. Which is basically just a wifi connection from your phone to a game console ,computer, tv,TV, whatever.
