A Personal Hotspot supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB connections. Additionally, devices connected to a Personal Hotspot will remain connected with iOS 13 or later even while the screen is locked, allowing those devices to continue receiving notifications and messages.
The status bar changes to blue and displays the number of devices that have joined when you connect a device to your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your provider and iPhone model, your Personal Hotspot can support a certain number of devices at once. You can only connect to the internet from the host device using cellular data if additional devices have joined your Personal Hotspot using Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi
Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot on the device you wish to connect to and make sure it is turned on. Then double-check the phone’s name and Wi-Fi password. Once your other device is linked to the Wi-Fi network, continue to use this screen.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on the device you want to connect to, then look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. To connect, tap the Wi-Fi network. Enter your Personal Hotspot password if prompted.
Bluetooth
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and stay there to ensure that your iPhone or iPad can be found. Then, on your Mac, set up a Bluetooth connection according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Find out more about utilizing Bluetooth and Personal Hotspot.
Bluetooth connections with Mac and other third-party devices are supported by Personal Hotspot. Use Bluetooth to connect to another iOS device.
USB
Make sure your Mac is running the most recent versions of Finder and iTunes. Next, use the USB cord that was included with your device to connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer. Tap Trust if you receive an alert asking you to “Trust This Computer.”
Allow Your Family to Join on Their Own
You can configure Family Sharing so that members of your family can automatically connect to your Personal Hotspot without having to input a password. What you should do is:
- Navigate to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Family Sharing on your Personal Hotspot-enabled device.
- Set Family Sharing to on. Find out how to set up Family Sharing if you can’t see the option.
- Select whether each member of your family should request permission to join your Personal Hotspot or join it automatically by tapping their names.
Configure or Update Your Wi-Fi Password.
A Wi-Fi password must be set in order to create a Personal Hotspot. Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot and press the Wi-Fi password to modify it.
Use ASCII characters and a Wi-Fi password that is at least eight characters long. Non-ASCII characters prevent other devices from connecting to your Personal Hotspot. Characters from languages other than English, such as Chinese, Japanese, and others, are non-ASCII characters. ASCII symbols consist of:
- all of the uppercase and lowercase letters of the English language
- the range from 0 to 9.
- a few commas and punctuation

Create a Hotspot on Your Phone
When you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network, you can share the cellular data connection of your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) with the iOS Personal Hotspot feature. Sharing your iPhone’s data connection with additional devices is simple and is referred to as “tethering.” Tethering enables you to share a GigSky cellular data-only package without a Wi-Fi connection once you’ve purchased one. It’s crucial to remember that tethering places an additional drain on your battery.

Use Free Wifi to Efficiently Save Data
When you don’t have safe WiFi, tethering your iPad to your iPhone is a fantastic alternative. Even so, you undoubtedly want to save data, so use free WiFi when it’s available and safe to do so while bearing in mind the social isolation that comes with using public wifi. You’ll most likely have a speedier connection than you would with an iPhone tethered to the internet.

Do Not Permit Hackers to Access Your Data.
Always sign out of a guest Wi-Fi network; this is crucial. If you don’t, your iPad can attempt to connect automatically and expose your information to hackers who create fake hotspots with the same name as the guest WiFi network but no password need. Always check out when you’re finished using a guest WiFi network to stay secure!
