FAQ

Why don’t I see the “Tethering & portable hotspot” option on my Pixel?

Your wireless carrier may not allow it. Contact your provider for more information.

Why does the hotspot turn itself off periodically?

If a device isn’t connected to it for a while, it will automatically turn off.

    Is there a way to connect to google home using the hotspot from your phone? Trying to bypass the need for an external WIFI source.

    I used to have an HTC One M8. When I set up the tether on that phone, I could see how many users were connected and who was connected. I can’t seem to do that on the Pixel though (I still have Verizon which is what I had before). Is there not on option on the Pixel to see connected users?
