WiFi Hotspot keeps disconnecting - iPhone 11 pro (ios14)

Ask your carrier for help with their hotspot service.

It is not carrier specific issue! None of the Carriers in Kuwait have restriction on hotspot & the disconnections happen, especially when a call is answered. This is annoying as the Cisco VPN gets dropped and the wifi network disappears from the list of available networks etc.

This is super annoying my carrier is not the problem because it was fine until iOS 14. My iPhone personal hotspot keeps disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. It’s fine for a few minutes and then it disconnects. My hotspot is always on but it just disconnects from connected devices automatically.

Same here. Wasn't even a problem with the ios14 beta. The issue literally started with the public release... Also noticed my phone would be a little more hotter than usual when devices are tethered to it.

This is a real issue that apple needs to address and fix. I called support yesterday and they first tried to blame my windows computer. I told them it was not as I was on the phone not my computer when I got an email to my phone and after that the blue bar on the top disappeared. This is what happens the phones modem maybe is turning off. But again it was working just fine since the start of COVID on iOS13. Apple this is such a important thing for so many people working from home.

It’s not the carrier or the computer or anything because I’m using my hotspot on my iPhone 11 Pro two work my iPhone 7 and it still disconnects so it’s an Apple issue

Same Problem Me Too! Since iOS14 WiFi Hotspot Disconnects after a while.

It never happened before, I had iOS 12 for 2 years, on same Place, on same Provider on same Computer on same iPhone X.

Outrageous! I search Android Phones. Enough with Apple becoming careless like a Totalitarian State believing we have no other choice.

Yeah I am experiencing the same issue as everyone here. I had no issues before the update? It stopped working when the update became available actually and even when I did finally update it it shows up as connected on my phone but nothing on the device the connection is for. It doesn’t seem to register. It does say I have 1 connection on the personal hotspot but only for about twenty seconds and then nothing.

I have been having this issue for awhile now. My phone will connect, work well for a few minutes, slow down, and then disconnect all together. I have erased all my settings twice, had Verizon update my carrier settings, gotten a new SIM card, and it still doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?? I'm trying to remote teach, and I am not having as much success as I need.

It does not work with my iPhone 8 Plus.

iOS v14.4

and secondly a lot of us need customisation, like:

1) An Open Hotspot without password.

2) Whitelist and Blacklist people.

3) Control hotspot timeout.

It’s 2021 and they haven’t included these very basic options, I have literally no idea why they are announcing 2 new iPhones each year when they should be working on improving the interface.

I used my hotspot for a year smoothly and reliably. I woke up a few days ago to the iOS 14 update, and my life is wrecking ball— as my hotspot no longer stays connected. It is a nightmare. I missed work. I missed all three days of a one time only class I registered for. I have reset my network settings 5 times which helps for 10 minutes, and then the hotspot disappears completely. I am a slave to this. I spent three hours with a very kind Apple support engineer and he is still unable to fix this. All the while I am losing money and class time. Please Apple, resolve this. We need internet like air nowadays.

This is my first iPhone, I switched from Android, and wish I didn’t! My hotspot takes forever to find and then when it is connected, it disconnects after a few minutes. Then takes forever to find again! This is impossible! I have reset my network settings....didn’t work.

I've got the newest iPhone (12) obviously the most up-to-date IOS and I'm having the same issue. I recently moved from Android to IOS, I never had this issue with Android, ergo, the issue is with Apple and the IOS.

IMO it's something that Apple needs to fix.

I've spoken with Apple Support - they're worse than useless and kept saying they only deal with billing issues and couldn't give me any advice - in all honestly I wish I'd just upgraded to a new Pixel phone than switching to Apple.

I was turning on the hotspot or the wifi for the new update IOS14.5.

After connecting the mobile hotspot or the wifi it automatically gets disconnected. I always have to connect and that too I have bought a new IPhone 11 Pro Max and this is happening on the new phone, while I am also having an IPhone X on which this problem is not happening.

Please send the cure as fast.
