Il Wi-Fi access point is the system most used by android users when it comes to share the Internet from one mobile to another. It consists in using the mobile data network, in order, as the name suggests, to create an Internet access point, to which the rest of the devices can connect via Wi-Fi.

This system also allows you to add a level of security with a password, which all those users who want to connect will need to know in order to establish a connection to the network. Therefore, you will have to share the password of the Wi-Fi network
