How to Find Mobile Hotspot Settings on Samsung Galaxy A57 with One UI 8.5

The Galaxy A57 keeps its hotspot controls under Connections: Mobile Hotspot and Tethering, then Mobile Hotspot. The recording opens the Mobile Hotspot page, reviews the band in the configuration, and confirms every tethering option is off — the hotspot itself stays off throughout.

Tap Mobile Hotspot

Review the band, then tap Cancel

Tap the network details card (Network name, Password and Band) to open Configure Mobile Hotspot. The band is 2.4 GHz here and the security is WPA2-Personal. Tap Cancel to leave the configuration unchanged.

Check the tethering options are off

Back on the Mobile Hotspot and Tethering page, Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth tethering and USB tethering are all off, and Ethernet tethering is unavailable without an adapter. That is the confirmation.

Good to know

  1. The hotspot is never turned on in this recording — everything here is found and reviewed with the switch Off.
  2. The Mobile Hotspot page and the configuration both show the current password in plain text in the recording — it is blurred in this article’s screenshot. The password itself is covered in the separate check-hotspot-password article; this video only reviews the settings around it.
  3. The band slider in the configuration runs from Compatibility (2.4 GHz) to Performance (5 GHz) — this phone is set to 2.4 GHz.
  4. Auto Hotspot is on (Only your account) and One-time password is off on this phone — those are separate options on the same page and are not changed here.
