I got galaxy a06 and this is my first samsung phone. I use to have auto setup which enable mobile hotspot when my home wifi network get disconnected and disable the hotspot automatically when home wifi network come back.
Now after coming to samsung, I'm able to make such setup via "modes and routines". But it can enable to the hotspot itself, but cannot disable. Reason is upon enabling the hotspot, the phone's wifi adapter turned off so it cannot scan for available wifi networks. In that way, phone do not know when the home wifi came back.
I want your suggestion:
1. any alternative method to achieve what I explained above?
2. Or any possibility to prevent 1UI from disabling the wifi adapter completely upon enabling hotspot?
Note: the use of this setup is to provide internet to all other devices via wifi. So mobile hotspot should fulfill the gap when home wifi went out.

@Abdullah5490: If you head to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Intelligent Wi-Fi > Auto Hotspot connection > Select 'Ask before connecting' or 'Always', does this help at all. I'm not sure if this works if you're running the Hotspot from your own device, but it is worth exploring as an option.
