Sekuyiminyaka eminingana ngihlala nginesibopho sokusebenzisa amatheminali amabili nsuku zonke, amatheminali engihlala ngizama ukuvela kuwo emvelweni eyahlukene ukwazi ukuhlola ubuhle nobubi babo ngamunye, yize kubonakala sengathi ngiyinto engavamile, ngoba baningi abasebenzisi abasesimweni esifanayo abathanda ukuphatha amafoni womabili, uma kungenjalo, avela ku-ecosystem efanayo, ngezinkinga zokuhambisana nokunye. Kubo bonke labo abasebenzisi abasebenzisa amatheminali ngaphansi kophawu lweGoogle, inkampani isanda kwethula isibuyekezo esisha sezinsizakalo ze-Google Play esivumela ukwabiwa kwe-inthanethi phakathi kwamatheminali, uma kwenzeka singenayo i-mobile coverage noma isignali ye-Wi-Fi etholakalayo lowo mzuzu.
Lo msebenzi obizwa nge-Instan Thethering, usivumela ukuthi sisebenzise ukuxhumeka kwe-inthanethi komunye umkhawulo wohlobo olufanayo, kutholakala kuphela kumatheminali weGoogle, ezimweni engibeke amazwana ngaphezulu, kepha ngaphandle kokufaka izilungiselelo futhi kufanele ubhalise kunethiwekhi ye-wifi edalwe yidivayisi. Ukuze ukwazi ukwenza le nqubo ngaphandle kokufaka noma iyiphi iphasiwedi, kuyadingeka ukuthi womabili amadivayisi ahlotshaniswe ne-akhawunti efanayo ye-Gmail, ngoba ngale ndlela amaseva weGoogle azoba nobufakazi bokuthi womabili amatheminali awomuntu ofanayo.
Lolu hlelo luyazenzakalela futhi iqala ukusebenza lapho i-terminal esifuna ukuxhuma kuyo kwi-inthanethi ingenayo i-Wi-Fi noma ukuxhumana kwedatha ngalowo mzuzu. Kuzoba kuhle lapho i-terminal isibuza ukuthi sifuna ukuxhumana nenye indawo ukuze sizulazule. Lolu hlelo lufana kakhulu naleso ebesitholakala iminyaka embalwa ku-iOS, lapho singaxhuma khona kwenye idivayisi ehlotshaniswa ne-akhawunti yethu ukusebenzisa uxhumano lwe-inthanethi ngaphandle kokufaka iphasiwedi noma i-PIN yokungena.
