Visibility settings

On: the hotspot is public and discoverable to others
Off: the hotspot is kept private to you

When you share a hotspot, you decide how visible and accessible it is. The current beta app gives you two controls.

This describes the visibility controls in the current build. Finer-grained access is on the roadmap.

Publicly available

The Publicly available toggle controls whether your hotspot is shared publicly.

Use public for connectivity you are happy for others to find and use. Use private for a hotspot you want to record but not share broadly.

The International access toggle controls whether access from outside the local area is allowed.

You set both toggles when you share a hotspot, on the Share tab. You can change a hotspot’s public/private state later from the Hotspots tab.

Setting	Effect
Publicly available	Whether the hotspot is shared publicly
International access	Whether access from outside the local area is allowed

Per-user approval and multi-tier access levels are on the roadmap. Today, visibility is the two toggles above. See Product status.
