Using Your Android Device's Internet on Linux via USB

To share your Android smartphone's internet connection with a Linux computer using a USB cable, follow these steps:

Connect your Android smartphone to the Linux computer using a USB cable.
On your smartphone, open 'Settings' and navigate to 'Network & Internet' or 'Connections & Sharing'.
Look for 'USB Tethering', 'USB Tether', or similar terms and enable it.

This will automatically establish the internet connection on your Linux computer without requiring any additional configuration.

If your Android device is not connected to Wi-Fi and is using cellular data, this tethering will consume data from your cellular plan. To avoid data charges, ensure that your Android device is connected to a Wi-Fi network before enabling tethering.

This will automatically establish the internet connection on your Linux computer without requiring any additional configuration.

If your iOS device is not connected to Wi-Fi and is using cellular data, this tethering will consume data from your cellular plan. To avoid data charges, ensure that your iOS device is connected to a Wi-Fi network before enabling tethering.
