Can't Connect iPhone HotSpot to MacBook Pro

Hi there silver_mica,

We understand that you are trying to connect multiple devices to your iPhone Personal Hotspot. We’d like to help however we can. 

To confirm, if you disconnect one MacBook Pro from the Personal Hotspot are you able to connect the second MacBook Pro or do you get the same error message?

Also, let’s follow the steps outlined here:

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

Cheers!

silver_mica,

Understood. Is your iPhone fully updated to iOS 15?

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Which version of macOS is each Mac running under the Apple menu > About This Mac?

Also, if you fully shut down the first MacBook Pro, do you still get an error when trying to connect the second MacBook Pro? If so, try to connect in a new, test user account as well. This shows how to make one:

Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Thanks!
