How to make hotspot “always on”

How can I make my iPhone hotspot always on? Currently, I have to go into settings and click hotspot in order to connect a device to my phone hot spot. I would like to be able to connect other devices to my phone hotspot without the added steps of going into hotspot settings from my iPhone .

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Let your family join automatically

You can set up Family Sharing so that your family can join your Personal Hotspot automatically—without needing to enter the password. Here's what to do: 

  1. On your device with Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Family Sharing.
  2. Turn on Family Sharing. If you don't see the option, learn how to set up Family Sharing.
  3. Tap the name of each of your family members and set whether they need to ask for approval or join your Personal Hotspot automatically.
