Starting December 31, 2022, the AT&T AllAccess app is going away, and we’re improving how you manage your device’s mobile hotspot. Hotspot controls are moving to the device network settings, and now you can view usage and notifications on your myAT&T account page—no separate app needed. For more details on what’s changing, go to att.com/AllAccessSunset.

• Turn mobile hotspot on/off
• View mobile hotspot network name and connected devices
• Configure hotspot settings
 

Requires eligible data plan. When Mobile Hotspot is enabled, the null Mobile hotspot icon will be displayed in the Notification bar.
