Huawei: Enable or Disable Bluetooth Tethering

Need to share mobile data with a laptop but do not want to plug in a USB cable? On many Huawei phones, Bluetooth tethering sits hidden inside the mobile network settings instead of the usual hotspot menu, which makes it easy to overlook. Once the phone is paired with the target device, the connection works even a few meters apart, though at lower speed than a hotspot.

Enable or Disable Bluetooth Tethering auf Huawei

Bluetooth tethering lets your Huawei phone share its mobile data connection with another device over a paired Bluetooth link, without a USB cable or a visible Wi-Fi hotspot broadcasting nearby. This is useful when you want to give a laptop temporary internet access without announcing an open hotspot to everyone around you.

On EMUI, this toggle sits inside the mobile network settings rather than on the main hotspot page, which is why it often gets overlooked. It only becomes useful once your Huawei phone has already been paired with the target device through Bluetooth.

To turn it on or off:

Open the settingsTap on Mobile networkTap on Tethering & portable hotspotActivate or deactivate Bluetooth tethering

Bluetooth tethering moves data much slower than USB tethering or a Wi-Fi hotspot, so it suits light browsing, messaging, or email rather than large downloads or streaming. If you need higher speeds, switch to USB tethering or the mobile hotspot instead. Leaving Bluetooth tethering active in the background drains the battery on both connected devices faster than standby, so switch it off again once the shared session is done.

Frequently asked questions

The paired device usually needs to select the internet access option from its own Bluetooth settings after pairing with your Huawei phone. Some laptops list this as Connect using Access point rather than a separate tethering entry.
