Iphone 12, hotspot problem.

Greetings,

I have recently bought Iphone 12 in Italy, and everything is working fine, except hotspot. After turning on "Personal Hotspot" / allowing others to join, mobile data, devices just could not "see" it. First thing that i tried is to reset my network settings, which helped me briefly. That lasted for a minute, when i turned off my wi-fi and bluetooth i have lost the hotspot connection too. Then, the same story again, no chance finding hat wi-fi on other devices. Then i have noticed that it needs reset every time it turns on to be visible.

Faithfully,

Nikola Stanković

iPhone 12, iOS 14

You need

Wifi on but not connected to wifi

Cellular/Mobile data on.

Keep the Hotspot Screen open - Do not page away from it.
