Q: Personal Hotspot
When I change my personal hotspot password in my iPhone 6s Plus the iPad connects automatically. Is there a way to prevent other devices from connecting automatically? Every now and again I see the personal hotspot connected to two devices instead of the one. Even after I change my password, the iPad connects automatically. If I change the password this should not be the case. It defeats the purpose of changing the password.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.2

It is due to the Instant Hotspot feature since you are signed in with the same Apple ID. Click on Instant Hotspot in the following article for instructions. A PW is not needed for the same Apple ID.
