Hide SSID

I often use internet sharing on my phone and it works really

well.


I have a question, why is it not possible to

disable broadcasting of SSID so the network becomes "hidden" for

others?

Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or PC. Then connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer with the USB cable that came with your device. If you see an alert that says tap "Trust This Computer?" tap Trust.

Hello again.


When I'm traveling or are on my ship I use network sharing on my phone, among other

things. my apple tv, ipad or my mac / pc.


Once you have paired the devices with the network, it remembers the ssid and password

and I do not feel the need for others to see my ssid and maybe try to log on to

my iPhone, so it would be nice to be able to hide it.


Regards
