TECH TIP #3: HOW TO TURN ON YOUR PHONE’S HOTSPOT WiFi
Hi there!
Welcome to another TECH TIP Tuesday from TECH SENIORS — your weekly guide to making technology easier and more helpful in everyday life.
This Week’s TECH TIP:
Turn On Your Phone’s Own Hotspot WiFi
What It’s About:
Need Wi-Fi but there’s no network nearby? You can use your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot to share your phone’s internet connection with a tablet, computer, or another phone. It’s like turning your iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi router!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Personal Hotspot (or tap Cellular, then Personal Hotspot).
Turn on the switch that says “Allow Others to Join.”
You’ll see a Wi-Fi password — this is what other devices will use to connect to your phone’s hotspot.
To Connect to that Hotspot
Go to the other device’s Wi-Fi settings.
Look for your iPhone’s name in the list of networks.
Tap it and enter the password shown on your iPhone.
Why This Helps:
Turning on your hotspot is perfect when you’re traveling, stuck without Wi-Fi, or need to get your other devices (i.e., laptops, tablets, etc.)online on the go — no cables, no extra devices.
Bonus Tip:
Keep an eye on your data usage if you don’t have an unlimited plan. Streaming videos or downloading large files through your hotspot can use up data quickly!
