If you are someone who works anywhere with a laptop, you probably use your mobile as a hotspot, also known as a hotspot, to share the internet connection.

It’s a simple idea. Since most laptops do not have a mobile connection and only have WiFi, we can make it use our smartphone connection. Once configured, it is easy to use, even if you have to remember to activate it each time.
Windows and Android continue to collaborate
Now, with the latest version of Windows 11, we won’t even have to do this, and the computer will automatically connect to our mobile and activate the hotspot on its own. In other words, we won’t have to do anything at all, just connect to the computer and start browsing or working, without worrying about the connection.
Such an achievement was made as part of an update of the “Phone Link” function of Windows 11, which already allows us to connect our Android device to the computer to do things like access messages or calls. In the next version of Windows 11, it will also allow this automatic management of access points.
Specifically, the feature is already tested in Windows 11 build 25231, which at this time can only be tested by Windows Insider users, as it is still in development; but expect it to arrive in one of the future updates.
Also, at the moment, the function has a big limitation: it is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy phones with One UI 4.1.1 or higher. Indeed, Samsung already has a feature that allows you to remotely wake up the hotspot from another Android device, and Microsoft has ported it to Windows 11. However, Google already has a feature. similar on Chromebooks, which can connect this way with Android. phones, so in theory there should be no problem supporting more brands in the future.
Our Android mobile will appear in the list of available networks in Windows 11
Anyway, when the function is active, we will find our mobile in the list of available networks, and we will only have to click on “Connect” so that the access point is automatically activated.
It’s yet another Windows novelty aimed at working better with Android. Since the failure of Windows Phone, Microsoft has focused on facilitating interconnectivity with the Android system, even offering Android apps on Windows 11.
