Best WiFi Hotspot Apps for Android devcies

If you’ve been on the lookout for a way to share your internet connectivity to the devices around you, you’ve stumbled upon the right place! We have gathered here some of the best WiFi Hotspot Apps for Android that you can try in 2020!

In today’s world, internet connectivity has become as essential. Anybody who owns or has access to even one smart device knows the sheer importance of being always connected to the web. While internet started off as slow broadband lines, it soon has evolved into something much larger. We have seen the recent outburst of mobile network companies and their competitive pricing around the globe. The need for being always connected has also become a must, given how reliant and dependent today’s modern world is on social media and the internet in general. However, it is sometimes difficult to have all of your devices connected to the internet.

Even if you have a smartphone that is always connected to the web over your network, you won’t find WiFi anywhere and everywhere you go. This poses a problem to devices such as laptops, or generally any device which you don’t have a SIM slot for. This is where your phone’s trusty hotspot mode comes into play. It can easily transform your Android or iOS device into a portable WiFi station, allowing all of your other WiFi enabled devices to also benefit from fast and trusty internet. However, even this method requires that you have a mobile plan on your phone, and will also end up consuming a lot of your data.
