  2. Click the Network & Internet option.

  1. Tap on the Wi-Fi hotspot.

You have to carry on these steps for just one time and after that, you can easily turn on and off the hotspot feature. Also remember, that not all smartphone manufacturers will place hotspot icons in quick widgets so the steps might differ a little bit.

One can also set up a mobile hotspot through the phone’s USB connection. However, this step does not work with every mobile phone. If your device is supportive, you can do it by following the steps below:
