Hotspot data

Can you create a hotspot that uses WiFi data and not cellular? For example when connecting to a chrome cast TV, I don’t want to use cellular data

iPhone 11, 14

Hi WWeinkauff,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


We are happy to help with providing you with information about using a hotspot and WiFi. When you use either one, your device will only use that network and not cellular. A device connects to cellular when a WiFi network becomes unavailable. You also have the option to turn off cellular data. On an iPhone, you would go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data. Get details in View or change cellular data settings on iPhone.


Cheers!
