iOS Shortcuts for Personal Hotspot and Reminder

Very often, I switch on my personal hotspot for my laptop and forget to switch it off, which in turns drains my phone battery. Is there a shortcut that I can use to switch on my personal hotspot, and then (at the same time) create a reminder that says “Switch off Hotspot”?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

glensent ~ Although Shortcuts can't switch on the Hotspot directly, it can take you to the Personal Hotspot settings page where you can switch it on manually.


This custom shortcut I created for you will ask you to enter the minutes until the reminder, set the reminder and take you to the Personal Hotspot settings page via its URL. If you're not sure how to change how it works, let me know.


I could give you the iCloud link to the shortcut, but you'll learn more by typing it in yourself:
