Auto-connect not working for WiFi Hotspot in GM vehicle We’ve had a Wi-Fi hotspot in our car for a couple of years. My iPhone has always auto connected after starting the car. It recently stopped auto connecting even though I still have auto join on. I have to manually select the Wi-Fi every time I get in the car. My husband has a Samsung and has no issue with auto connecting.

iPhone Won't Automatically Connect to Vehicle's Hotspot I’ve got an iPhone 12 running the latest iOS (16.1.1) which had a small data plan associated with it. My car has a built-in hotspot from OnStar which is unlimited. I’d like the iPhone to automatically connect to the vehicle’s hotspot similar to how it automatically connect to regular Wi-Fi connections. Under the hotspot Wi-Fi network properties I’ve turned off the “Low data usage” option as with it being unlimited I don’t wish to limit the data usage on the phone. I’ve also set the Auto-Join Hotspot option to Automatic, but neither of those options appear to do anything as after several minutes I still have to go under Settings - Wi-Fi and manually tap on my car’s Wi-Fi network. I do remember when I first enabled the car’s hotspot it would automatically connect like I want it to…I don’t recall changing anything. Maybe an iOS update changed that behavior??? Does anyone have some other ideas to try? Thanks.
