After an update from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0 on Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580, WiFi only), I've lost the USB tethering function.

I need an update to recover this function which is very important for me because I use this tablet only to connect to the remote control of a drone via USB tethering. Without this function, this tablet no longer serves me and the drone too.

  • Try using shell commands, do you have root BTW?

  • Sort of as in 'super user' privileges, after rooting device. Rooting is a different proceedure though, its not available by default like in Linux environments, we have to obtain it by modifying some system files

Check what type of connection it is using, take down the notification drawer and see if there is a "Recharge" notification or something like that.

If so, tap on it and choose the MTP option, then go in the tethering options, and activate it.

Done :)

  • Swipe down the notification bar while connected to the controller, is there a notification about the tablet being in charge only mode?

If you enable Developer mode and go to Settings -> {} Developer and tap enable USB Debugging, it allowed me to install an app via USB.

Maybe it will help you.
