Hi, Bernadette,


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post, you have an LG smart TV with the ability to connect to the internet, but it will not recognize your iPhone hotspot. I'm happy to help!


First, make sure your mobile hotspot is set up properly: How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. Once you've confirmed it's set up properly, you can use If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support to troubleshoot, specifically the "If you can't connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi" section.


I can also suggest reaching out to LG directly if you still need help after that to confirm your TV's compatibility and get help connecting to Wi-Fi with your specific model. You can use LG Chat & Email | LG to reach out via chat or email, and LG Telephone | LG to reach out by phone.


Cheers!
