Receive messages when the device is a mobile hotspot #60

Can you tell me if I want to use 1 mobile device as host to broadcast network to another device and can I use receiveMessage() to receive message ? Thank you

Hi @V-d-H

I'm not sure whether it's possible to use p2p if devices are connected to each other via hotspot. I think hotspot and p2p technologies are different from each other. I would say it's not possible.

You always can try to connect to wi-fi shared via hotspot and then try to connect to p2p. I assume internet connection will be dropped, though my words need to be verified.
