The WIFI hotspot sharing method for the terminal device comprises the steps that the WIFI hotspot of the terminal device is set as a hidden hotspot; whether a hotspot conversion request is received from a device other than the terminal device is judged; and if a hotspot conversion request is received from another device, the WIFI hotspot is set as a visible hotspot. According to the invention, the user experience is enhanced by taking into account the convenience of connection and the need for a user to hide the WiFi hotspot. 本发明公开了种终端设备的WIFI热点共享方法以及终端设备，该终端设备的WIFI热点共享方法包括：将终端设备的WIFI热点设置为隐藏热点；判断是否从终端设备以外的其他设备接收到热点转换请求；若从其他设备接收到热点转换请求，则将WIFI热点设置成可见热点。通过这种方式，本发明能够同时兼顾连接的方便性和用户隐藏WiFi热点的需求，增强用户体验。
