Do Not Want Others to Join My Personal Hotspot. How Do I Disable This?

Hello All,


Since the recent 13.1.3 OS update, everytime I use my Personal Hotspot, it now displays, "Allow Others to Join". I do not want others to join my Personal Hotspot, when I am using it. How do I disable this, so others will not join my Personal Hotspot and I can use it just for myself? Thanks.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 13

Yeah, when I turn off Allow others to join, I cannot use my Personal Hotspot for myself. It will not connect to my personal devices.
