Personal hotspot

The personal hotspot in my phone is not working. A message appears on my phone every time I try to open it and its content is to contact vodafone. I did already but the response I received was it is not a vodafone issue and that I should contact apple support to let you open such facility on my phone.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 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.

Also, check the following

  1. Network coverage and stability
  2. Data Balance
  3. On your windows (See if WiFi Auto Joins is enabled)
  4. Also, check if you have any stronger WiFi signal around your computer.
