In this blog post, we will explore the steps to turn off allowed devices on your mobile hotspot. Mobile hotspots are a great way to share your device's internet connection with other devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. However, there may be instances where you want to revoke access to certain devices. Follow the instructions below to learn how to effectively turn off allowed devices on your mobile hotspot.

Step 1: Accessing the Mobile Hotspot Settings

The first step is to access the settings of your mobile hotspot. Depending on your device, the steps may vary slightly. Typically, you can find the mobile hotspot settings in the "Settings" or "Network" menu.

Step 2: Locating the Allowed Devices List

Once you have accessed the mobile hotspot settings, look for an option related to allowed devices. It might be labeled as "Allowed Devices," "Connected Devices," or something similar.

Step 3: Removing Devices from the Allowed List

After locating the allowed devices list, you should see a list of devices currently connected to your hotspot. Find the device you want to remove and select it. Depending on your device, you may need to tap on a "Remove" or "Delete" button next to the device's name or MAC address.

Step 4: Confirming the Removal

Upon selecting the option to remove the device, you will likely receive a confirmation prompt. Confirm the action by tapping "Yes," "Remove," or similar. This will remove the selected device from the allowed devices list, effectively turning off its access to your mobile hotspot.

Step 5: Repeat if Needed

If you want to turn off access for multiple devices, repeat steps 3 and 4 for each device you wish to remove. This will ensure that only the devices you want are allowed to connect to your mobile hotspot.
