To check how many devices are connected to your hotspot on an Android device, you can follow these steps:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel.
2. Once the notification panel is open, look for and tap on the gear-like icon to access the Settings menu. This icon is usually located in the top right or top left corner of the screen.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on the option labeled “Tethering & portable hotspot.” This option is typically located under the “Wireless & networks” or “Connections” section.
4. Within the “Tethering & portable hotspot” menu, you will find various options related to sharing your device’s internet connection. Look for and tap on the option called “Wi-Fi hotspot.”
5. Once you are in the “Wi-Fi hotspot” menu, you should see information about your hotspot, including the network name (SSID), password, and other related settings.
6. To see the number of devices connected to your hotspot, look for the section labeled “Connected Users” or similar. Here, you will find a list of the devices currently connected to your hotspot, along with their MAC addresses, which are unique identifiers for each device.
7. You can now count the number of connected devices and view their MAC addresses to identify them.
It’s worth mentioning that the exact steps and menu options may vary slightly depending on the version of Android and the device you are using. However, the general process should be similar across most Android devices.
By following these steps, you can easily check how many devices are connected to your hotspot on your Android device. This can be useful in managing your network and ensuring that only authorized devices have access to your hotspot.
