Hello bdemakaska2.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you'd like to disable the access to Personal Hotspot on your child's iPhone. Specifically, you'd like to know if there is a restrictions option that you can use. If so, allow us to share some information with you. We do have a helpful resource that reviews how to use patronal controls on the iPhone. Check out the link below:


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


On iOS 15, you can navigate to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions to see all settings that you can change. Under Allow Changes, there is an option listed for "Cellular Data Changes". This might be able to help, however it doesn't mention Personal Hotspots. If needed, you might have to reach out to your cellular provider for assistance in removing the Personal Hotspot feature from your child's device.


We hope this information is useful. Cheers.
