Tether Together Mac OS

Tethering is the best way to share your phone’s Internet Connection with your Desktop or Laptop. It’s the best solution for those who mostly use Cellular Internet Connection on their phones and want to use the same Connection on their Desktop too.

Tethering can be done in three ways, via USB, via Wi-fi or via Bluetooth. USB Tethering is nice but why would you want to use a USB cable when you can tether wirelessly. Wi-fi tethering is again good but not economical, it drains the battery of your phone quickly. The best way to wirelessly tether your desktop using your phone is using Bluetooth Tethering.

Here’s a simple guide for those who have an Android phone and want to share their phone’s Internet Connection with their Mac using Bluetooth Tethering.

  2. The bundle id for Tether - The Interactive Whiteboard for Mac is com.tether.Tether.

The application lies within Communication Tools, more precisely Texting & Video calls.
