How to Block Device Connecting to Mobile Hotspot on Galaxy S8

In today's digital age, smartphones have become an essential part of our lives. They help us stay connected, browse the internet, and even act as personal hotspots.

However, there may be times when you want to restrict certain devices from connecting to your Galaxy S8's hotspot. This article will guide you through the steps to block a device from connecting to your mobile hotspot on a Galaxy S8.

Method 1: Using the Mobile Hotspot Settings

The Galaxy S8 comes with built-in settings to manage connected devices to your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps to block a device:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S8.
  2. Tap on "Connections" and then select "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering."
  3. Tap on "Mobile Hotspot" to access the settings.
  4. Scroll down and locate the "Allowed devices" or "Connected devices" option.
  5. Select the device you want to block from connecting to your hotspot.
  6. Tap on the device's name, and a menu will appear.
  7. Choose the option to "Block" or "Forget" the device from the list.
  8. The device will now be blocked from connecting to your Galaxy S8's mobile hotspot.

Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps

If you prefer a more advanced approach or need additional features, you can utilize third-party apps to block devices from connecting to your mobile hotspot. Here are a few popular apps you can try:

Method 3: Changing Hotspot Password

In some cases, it might be easier to change your mobile hotspot's password rather than individually blocking devices. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S8.
  2. Tap on "Connections" and then select "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering."
  3. Tap on "Mobile Hotspot" to access the settings.
  4. Scroll down and locate the "Password" or "Wi-Fi password" option.
  5. Tap on the password field and enter a new, strong password.
  6. Save the changes, and your mobile hotspot will now prompt everyone to enter the new password to connect.

Method 4: Contacting Your Carrier

If none of the above methods work for you, it's worth reaching out to your mobile carrier for assistance. They may offer additional solutions or provide guidance on managing devices connected to your mobile hotspot.

Tips to Enhance Hotspot Security

While blocking specific devices from connecting to your mobile hotspot can improve security, here are a few additional tips to ensure the safety of your connection:

  • Regularly change your mobile hotspot password.
  • Always use a strong and unique password.
  • Disable the hotspot when not in use.
  • Avoid using insecure public Wi-Fi networks.
  • Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for encrypted browsing.

With these steps and tips, you can now take control of your Galaxy S8 mobile hotspot and manage the devices connected to it securely. Enjoy a reliable and protected internet sharing experience!
