No idea about that, tho even my old phone, which was Xiaomi 12T, could do that.

Ok, so after running traceroute, it seems that the hotspot is using the network of my university Wi-Fi, which my phone is connected with. EDIT: Thanks a lot! Forgot to thank you for the advice 😅

So this same thing ocurred when my laptop was connected to the hotspot of my previous phone under a different name.

All the tethering settings are off. I'm just using the default hotspot settings.

Title is self explanatory. For background, I am currently running Asahi Linux on my M1 MBP. Whenever I connected the hotspot without data being turned on, it somehow still worked like any regular wifi. I even ran several updates in the system and downloaded multiple apps in this wifi, which I find it amusing. But out of curiosity, I wanted to know from you guys that what could the reason be for this.

EDIT: So after following the advice of [email protected], I relized that the hotspot is using the network of my University's Wi-Fi, which explains why the hotspot worked even with the data turned off.

Tidal is a great option. They even give the best pay per stream for artists compared to Spotify or even Apple music
