WiFi Hotspot keeps disconnecting - iPhone 11 pro (ios14)

i know this is going to sound crazy, but shutting off Bluetooth fixed the issue for me. Unfortunately i can’t use my AirPods and apple pen anymore. I wish I bought that galaxy tab....

Bluetooth has been off on my P.C.

To confirm—Are saying turn it off on your iPhone?

Yes, on you iPhone. I’m also having the same issue on my iPad Air (LTE) when I try using it as a hotspot.

Turning off Bluetooth does not help me. We should focus on devs fixing this issue instead of finding our shortcuts, because in some way they sound ridiculous.

My hot spot continually diconnects

What is the solution to this problem. It is the same for me-ever since I got ios14.4 my hotspot keeps disconnecting from my laptop. This is very disruptive for my college work and lectures

It is really annoying from apple, devices keep disconnecting over hotspot. Need to go repeatedly to setting to connect again.

I have the same problem

this needs to be fixed

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

It happened to my iPhone 7 battery capacity is at 75% now due to leaving screen on for hotspot

This is really sad - can anyone from Apple acknowledge the problem? Is there a fix in the works? This is an issue on both iPhone and iPads...

This issue was so annoying. Experienced it on my IPhone X. The only solution that worked was the one @thomberger proposed i.e Setting auto-lock to never worked

The option to set Autolock to "Never" is not available on some phones, reputedly due to other settings. So, this is not an option for many of us. The only other option is Buy Android.

i noticed the hotspot stays connected longer if i turn off battery saver and battery, it may disconnect once or twice but stays connected afterwards

still happening to me too. updated to 14.7 hoping it would resolve the problem but it's no better.

is anyone at apple even listening?
