Thank you Phil0124... but I realize I should have been way more specific! This is my first time posting on this type of forum and I didn’t realize it would be an open discussion, but that’s cool. How do I change my device name to where it appears as a Wi-Fi connection? If I turn my hotspot on and someone wants to find my hotspot instead of it saying iPhone? do I go to through the same >settings >General> about>name Or is there somewhere else to where I can change what people see you when trying to connect to my hotspot?
