Realme: Turn Personal Hotspot On or Off

Personal hotspot on Realme phones turns your mobile data connection into a Wi-Fi network that other devices can join. This is useful when a laptop or tablet has no SIM or Wi-Fi access of its own, but it relies entirely on your phone's mobile data allowance and signal strength.

The toggle for this function sits in the network settings rather than the quick settings panel by default, which is why it's easy to lose track of. To enable or disable it, go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Connection & sharing ➔ Tap on Personal hotspot ➔ Enable or disable Personal hotspot.

Once enabled, the phone broadcasts a Wi-Fi network with a name and password you can customize from the same screen. Other devices connect to it exactly like any other Wi-Fi network, then route their internet traffic through your phone's mobile data.

Turning the hotspot off immediately disconnects every device using it. This is the right move when you're done sharing data, want to save battery, or need to stop unexpected devices from connecting.

If devices connect but show no internet, check your mobile data connection first since the hotspot only relays a signal it actually has. A weak mobile signal or an exhausted data plan will produce a working hotspot with no real internet access on the other end.
