Hotspot and tethering issue on my Pixel 6a.

Blaqtiger

Hello,

I have been using GrapheneOS for a couple of years and would like to use the Hotspot and tethering function on one of my other user profiles, but, it keeps saying that the Tethering settings are not available for this user profile. It only works on the main user profile. Any advice would be most welcome.

Cheers and regards.

Blaqtiger you cant enable it from user profile. But once you enable it from owner profile even if you switch to user profile also it won't be disabled. To turn it off you again need to go to owner Profile.

Hello,
I have tried that turning it on in my owner profile and then switching to a user profile without switching it back. It will not offer the option, it just says in my user profile ' Tethering settings are not available for this user '.

Blaqtiger let me clarify, you can turn on or turn off hotspot in owner profile only. No changes can be made to it when you in user profile.
If its turned on from owner profile it stay on even if you switch to user profile, to turn it off again you need to switch back to owner profile.
