I wish it had a setting to change the TTL[0][1] on the mobile hotspot, to get around carriers that block the use of tethering, or charge separately for tethered devices.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sahilrohilla.medium.com&#x2F;how-to-bypass-the-hotspot-sharing-limit-set-by-your-isp-c95bd3900e48" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sahilrohilla.medium.com&#x2F;how-to-bypass-the-hotspot-sh...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;android.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;47819&#x2F;how-can-phone-companies-detect-tethering-incl-wifi-hotspot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;android.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;47819&#x2F;how-can-ph...</a>

Two features I&#x27;d love to see:<p>- Profiles. Different buckets for different things. One for work, another for leisure, etc.<p>- Some kind of alerting system to notify the user if the phone is potentially compromised &#x2F; hacked. Could be a simple scan to look for obvious red flags &#x2F; heuristics of known in-the-wild malware.
