Galaxy S25 Instant Hotspot

Last year, Android 15 introduced a new and useful feature called Instant Hotspot, but the feature was not available on Samsung devices. Thankfully, if you have the Galaxy S25 then it is the first Samsung phone to support Android’s Instant Hotspot feature.

According to the Google post, the Instant Hotspot feature is available on the Galaxy S25 and newer devices. If you have an older Samsung device, you can use the Auto Hotspot feature instead, with Samsung already offering a similar feature as part of its One UI software.

On the other hand, the Instant Hotspot feature allows any Android smartphone, tablet, or Chromebook to instantly connect to an Android phone’s hotspot, provided all devices are signed in to the same Google account.

Furthermore, Internet sharing works with Chromebooks and Android devices signed in to your Google account. Bluetooth and the device’s location must be turned on to share the Internet.
