iTether: Personal Hotspot App

A mobile app that uses your iPhone's cellular data connection to provide internet access for other devices, setting up a personal hotspot with your data plan.

What is ITether?

iTether is an iOS app that enables tethering and creating a personal hotspot using your iPhone's cellular data connection. It allows you to share your iPhone's internet access with other devices such as laptops, tablets, or other smartphones when WiFi is not available.

The app works by turning your iPhone into a portable WiFi hotspot. You can connect your other devices to your iPhone via WiFi or USB and access the internet using your iPhone's cellular data plan. This can be useful if you need internet access on the go and there are no WiFi networks available.

Some key features of iTether include:

  • Ability to create a portable WiFi hotspot using your iPhone's cellular connection
  • Share internet access with up to 5 devices via WiFi or 1 device via USB
  • Supports iPhone, iPad, Android devices, laptops, etc
  • No need for jailbreaking your iPhone
  • Usage tracking to monitor data usage
  • Security options like password protecting the WiFi network

An advantage of using iTether over other tethering apps is that it does not typically require jailbreaking your iPhone in order to work. It also has reliable connectivity and good performance for browsing, email, messaging, etc while using the iPhone's data connection.

Potential downsides are that it can drain your iPhone's battery quicker and use up cellular data, which may incur overage charges if you exceed the data allowance on your cell plan. But overall iTether provides a simple way to get internet access on other devices through iPhone tethering when WiFi is unavailable.
