Allowed Device List
Control whether devices connect to your Portable
Wi-Fi hotspot with the Allowed device list. After
you add devices to the list, they can scan for your
device and connect using your device's Portable
Wi-Fi hotspot name and password.
Note: Using your device as a Mobile Hotspot
consumes battery power and uses data service. While
Mobile Hotspot is active, your device's applications
