How to share Internet on Android with any other device
To be able to share the Internet on Android you only need to have an active data plan (with available gigabytes) and use the mobile Internet connection sharing function, also known as the “hotspot” or “access point” function. Through this feature, you can create a Wi-Fi network from your Android device and allow other devices to connect to the Internet through it.
How to create and configure an Internet access point

5. Click ‘Set up Wi-Fi hotspot’.

- ‘Wi-Fi hotspot name’. Make sure you put a name you remember. Like for example: ‘ is great’.
- ‘Password’. Same advice. Do not enter 1234. Otherwise, the neighbor upstairs will take advantage of your . Work harder for safety.

If by chance the ‘Shared connection’ or similar option does not appear in this drop-down menu, click on the option with the ‘Edit’ icon. You can add a specific shortcut to make it more accessible.
Once added, you will have a new ‘Share’, ‘Wi-Fi Hotspot’ or similar icon.
Tips for sharing data on Android
Be careful with the contracted data rate
Not all of us have the same rates, even within the same operator. Make sure your phone company doesn’t charge you when you use up all the gigs for the month. When you run out of data, two things can happen: either your connection slows down, or you start being charged more. Be careful with this!
With you won’t have any scares because if you run out of gigabytes for the month, we’ll just slow you down, without charging you anything extra!
