Hi,

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Android 8.0 Oreo
Asus C423 Chromebook: Version 71 Stable Channel

I can't get Instant Tethering to work.

There's no Instant Tethering option in the Settings -> Google on my phone. Turning off my Wifi and No notification appears on my phone or chromebook to connect.

Instant Tethering isn't an option in "Connected Devices" on my Chromebook but my phone and Chromebook are linked as Smart Lock works.

This article says Android 8.1 is needed but Samsung hasn't pushed out 8.1 to the S7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is on the approved list? -
