Welcome, and follow me is a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and today I'll show you how to enable
0:12
the portable hotspot. And to get started, simply pull down the notification panel, find the hotspot toggle, which for
0:21
me is right over here, mobile hotspot. And before you tap on it, you want to hold it to gain access to settings, or you can
0:28
change things like the name of the wifi, by default it's the name of the device itself
0:33
but you can change it if you don't want it, or shorten it if you want it like that
0:40
And then we also have the password, so by default it's just a random password, you
0:45
can remove it and set your own. Now it needs to have at least 8 characters in length, and from there you can save it
0:52
And then, at the bottom we also have the band, so we have the 5GHz and 2.4GHz
0:59
Now as you can see, once you select 5GHz, it will give you a message that devices that don't support 5GHz won't be able to find or connect to your hotspot
1:08
So in other words, it's gonna literally not be visible in the wifi
1:13
And I will add that the 5GHz right here is something completely different than the actual
1:19
5G capability of the device in terms of mobile networking. This is 5G strictly wifi based, and older devices also had it, so you don't need to
1:30
have a phone with the 5G chipset. So you can select it, and basically if your phone doesn't support it, you can just go
1:38
back here and simply check it back to 2.4GHz, and everything will work just fine from then
1:45
And then, Auto Hotspot, share your phone's internal connection automatically with other
1:52
devices signed into your Samsung account. So apparently you can share it based on the accounts
1:58
Now this is something that I assume would be more usable for family members and stuff
2:01
like that, because I don't believe you're gonna be sharing your Samsung account with
2:07
strangers or friends like that. So yeah, once all that is set up, you can simply leave this and tap on the toggle to
2:16
enable it. And this will enable the hotspot. The bottom in the notifications, you will also have a notification that it is right
2:25
now enabled, and if someone connects to it, I believe it will also tell you that someone
2:29
is connected or how many people are connected. And now the last thing, once you're done with the hotspot, make sure you turn it off, otherwise
2:37
you will be using battery on your device for basically no reason
