JAKARTA - Hotspots are a way that you usually use to share your internet connection from one device, to another wirelessly.

When another device is connected to your hotspot, your Internet data will be drained according to its usage. Therefore, it is very important to use a password so that not just anyone can connect to your hotspot.

If you are already, and many people use your hotspot, you can check how many devices are connected to your mobile hotspot easily.

To see which devices are connected, follow the steps below on your Android device:

The steps above explain how to check the number of devices connected to your hotspot on your Samsung phone. The interface on other brand phones may be slightly different, but in general, the method will be the same.

It should be noted that some Android phones may not display the device's display name connected to your hotspot. Therefore, you should temporarily stop the joint internet connection for all connected devices to filter unknown devices.

If you find an unknown device connected to your hotspot, change your hotspot password, and it will be disconnected automatically. Then, you can reconnect your device to the hotspot using a new password.
