0:28 if you don't see a personal hotspot in your settings, you don't have to contact your cellular carrier for this, you can just go into Mobile data -> mobile data & network -> scroll down to the bottom of the screen and set you personal hotspot apn, username & password. this you enable your hotspot settings. 😊

HI. The issue I have is that devices connected to my AT&T mobile hotspot are not seen as being on the SAME NETWORK as my phone, so I can't use the same phone hosting hotspot to control those devices like as a remote or for a chromecast...

Is there a way to hotspot your wi-fi not your cellular? If there is not I would like to request this feature!

[Nikos]

Every time my iPad and iPhone screens close, in order to reconnect, I have to open my iPhone in the hotspot page, open iPad in Wi-Fi page and reconnect, even though I have selected auto reconnect, why do I have to do that every time? and most importantly why does it disconnect?

It would be useful to know who is connected and which ip adress is given to a connected device. Like android do

How can you also share the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone like the cellular data using personal hotspot. Because when you turn on personal hotspot the Wi-Fi connection is turned off. Please provide an update to also share Wi-Fi connection of iPhone for personal hotspot.

How do you keep the hotspot on without going to that stupid screen?

[kaushik]

It'd be nice if i could see the hotspot's strength just like the wifi's signal strength..is there any way for it??

[birkishandebbarma]

When i try to turn on the hotspot it always asks for wifi and bluetooth to turn on why? And after turning on it took almost 30secs to appear and most of the times the hotspot didn’t even appear to other devices! Please help @apple support
