How do I manage Mobile Hotspot on iOS devices?

Many organizations avoid using public Wi-Fi networks in parks, hotels, bus stops, and railways as they come with the risk of data loss and theft. Personal hotspots are much safer compared to public Wi-Fi networks. Personal hotspots can be connected via Bluetooth, USB cable, and Wi-Fi.

WeGuard MDM allows admins to enable or disable personal hotspot settings on the device remotely, with which they can permit or restrict users from sharing mobile data.

Power utilization is genuinely high contrasted with different principles, making battery life and warmth a worry, and it can also add a lot of extra expense to your mobile plan.
