Android phones can share their wifi connection like this.

(some android phones: my Pixel can, Samsung can't, although it seems that other Samsungs do have it.)

I installed another app on my S10 to enable this. It's called "Wi-Fi Hotspot" and it works pretty well

Insane to me that Apple still does not support this.

Not that surprising. Unless you’re going to sell access to that hotspot and give Apple a 30% cut, it really wouldn’t interest Tim Cook.

Is it? I can’t picture a real situation where other devices would prefer connecting to mine, running down its battery, instead of directly to the wifi it’s broadcasting.

Besides, at least where I live, 5G/4G is often faster than shared wifi. I’d be surprised if this is used by more than 0.1% of all users.

I carry a burner Android just for this feature. Great for sharing with my iPhone and iPad on a flight.
