iOS 15 hotspot
Ipad 4 won't connect to ios 15 hotspot. I guess this is due to the introduction of WPA3 encryption. How to be? Is there a choice of encryption type? I have no desire to buy a new iPad.
iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hi acckiycobak,
It seems you're having trouble connecting your iPad to your iPhone hotspot and we can help.
Do you have the option to Maximize Compatibility?
You might find that in Settings > Personal Hotspot > Maximize Compatibility.
Let us know if that helps you to connect.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Hi mario49 I’m also unable to connect my iPod (iOS 9.3.5 - 5th gen) even with compatibility mode enabled. My friend’s iPhone 6 was also unable to connect and I think he is on some version of iOS 14
Is this likely a bug with compatibility mode if it’s supposed to support older devices?
I have an iPad third-generation that connects to Wi-Fi. I have iPhone 13 with iOS 15 With a hotspot that works. I have maximize compatibility turned on. All the error message says “unable to join the network”.
I have an iPad 4 that fails to connect to my iPhone 12 Mini hotspot since I updated the Mini to iOS 15, but worked before, so a similar problem to you.
To add some more detail: Maximise Compatibility does not help. The hotspot is working for a newer iPad (2nd gen 12.9” Pro).
Fyi, the ipad3 hotspot worked with ios14. It stopped when I updated to ios15.
There is no option for ‘Maximize Compatibility’ in iPhone 11 and earlier. 😞
