On Android, there are apps that you can install that do this for you.

I used to use them a lot when I was traveling with my laptop a few years ago and it always worked great.

Can you mention some? I've been having an issue with my phone having its hotspot limited to under 1mbps.
I switched to iPhone and can’t even remember the name of the app anymore, sorry

But the good news is that I got it from the Play Store back then and you didn’t even need to jailbreak.

Years ago, I did this with my jailbroken iphone 3gs. When visiting lots of websites, it would serve up the mobile version, so I assumed that the app was somehow modifying request headers to look like a phone request. I guess not as many sites used TLS back then.
