Creating hotspots

The Share tab lets you contribute a hotspot in a few taps.

​

Sharing a hotspot

Open the Share tab and:

1. Name your hotspot — this is how it appears in your list (e.g. “Home Office”)
2. Set the location — toggle use current location, or set it manually
3. Choose a network type:
   • Wi-Fi
   • Mobile data
   • Router
4. Set visibility:
   • Publicly available — on or off
   • International access — on or off
5. Tap Share Hotspot

Your hotspot is saved and appears under the Hotspots tab.

​

Network types

• Wi-Fi: a wireless network, such as a home or business access point
• Mobile data: your phone sharing its cellular connection
• Router: a dedicated router or access point you control

Choose the type that matches what you are sharing.

​

Visibility

The current app has two visibility controls:

• Publicly available: whether the hotspot is shared publicly
• International access: whether to allow access from outside the local area

​

After sharing

Once you share a hotspot, it appears in your Hotspots tab, where you can toggle its visibility or remove it. See Managing your hotspots.
