Auto Connect to Android Hotspot

#Post
1

Hi there,

Is it possible to set your Android phone up(Samsung s20) so that it will auto turn on your Hotspot when you leave your homes Wifi network, and then I would also like my wifes phone to automatically connect to my phones hotspot when we are together and she leaves the wifi network with me. I have done some research on the internet but really cant find any information on this. Is an android app needed to manage this.

Thank you for any help;

Check out the ifttt app or the tasker app.

It'll be a learning curve.

if they're both Samsungs there is an auto hotspot function built in, both need to be signed into a Samsung account

last option

I also used this for a while which switches wifi based on signal strength, might help...

You can use Bixby to turn on your hotspot whenever you leave home. If your wife has Bixby you "MAY" be able to set up a rule to connect to your hotspot when you both leave home.
