Question

When I check my hotspot it has one device tethered and it is showing up as Android system 10.32. What does this mean?

Community Answer

It is the model of the phone tethered, meaning that the phone's system has not been renamed by the user.

On Android 5.1.1 and later, the notification isn't shown anymore. How does one view the connected clients?

Install an app called "Portable Wifi Hotspot Manager" from Play Store. You can view who's connected, and also set usage limit for your Hotspot.
