Hello RistoYeti84,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide you with some insight into this.


You might be able to disable wireless hotspot usage with parental controls. Go to Settings > Cellular, and make sure that Personal Hotspot is disabled. Then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, and enter your passcode if prompted. Scroll down to Cellular Data Changes, and switch that to Don't Allow.


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
