I want to share my mobile data from my phone to the pi (so when I connect to the pi, it automatically gets internet, so I dont have manually setup a mobile hotspot).

I tried this with some older tutorials I found but if I try to establish a PAN connection it says:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pand
sudo: pand: command not found

Is pand depricated? Do I have to use something else to this? Or is there an alternative to use for my scenario?

    No idea, but have you installed pand? It doesn't sound like a package which would be present by default.

pand has been deprecated as it uses an API that isn't supported any more. The new way of doing this is to use the D-Bus API which is documented at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/network-api.txt

An example of how to use that API is at:

There is some more details at:
