If you see that the setting for Personal Hotspot is gray on your device and there doesn’t seem to be a way to toggle it to green, then you should call your carrier to see if they have enabled it and that your wireless plan supports it. There are some plans that don’t, and there are also some circumstances where you might not have access to the feature. 


If you are certain that your carrier provides the Personal HotSpot feature then Reset the Network Settings on your iPhone. Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➡️ Reset ➡️ Reset Network Settings: This will reset the cellular and Wi-Fi Network settings on your iPhone. You will have to enter your Wi-Fi Network password(s) again. See whether this resolves the issue.
