Sync iPad to new cellular provider

I have a wifi-only iPad synced to my iPhone, if I change cellular provider on my iPhone do I need to do anything to maintain the sync with the iPad?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14

”Sync” is not the right term for what you have described. I believe that your question is that you were connecting your, Wi-Fi only, iPad to the internet by using your iPhone’s cellular hotspot. You are now looking to change the cellular service provider and are wondering whether you will need to make any changes to the hotspot configuration for the ipad.

The answer to your question is a NO. You do not have to make any changes when you change the cellular service provider for your iPhone. Just ensure that the Hotspot feature is available with your new cellular service provider and you will be good to go.
