iPhone hotspot

Yesterday I tried to use my iPhone’s (xr) internet on my iPad through hotspot

At first the ipad (pro 2018) could find my iphone in wifi list but it couldn’t connect to it and had this “unable to join” error

after I tried reseting network settings on iphone and restarting the phone, finally it connected but the problem now was that I had internet connection on ipad and it worked well, but internet was not working on iphone anymore though at the same time everything was fine on the ipad

I have used hotspot on my iphone before and didn’t have this problem and I had internet on both my phone and the device connected to it

iPhone XR, iOS 14

If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi

The Hotspot is a carrier specific feature. Contact your carrier, if it is not appearing on your device.
