IPad 10.3.4 not connecting to iPhone hotspot

My iPad with os version 10.3.4 no longer able to connect to my iPhone os 15.5 hotspot

seems the problem started after upgrading my iPhone os to version 15


i have tried all the tips from the old thread with the same article with no luck so please don’t direct me to general articles as the problem is basically about os version 15 disabled features

Try setting your iPhone hotspot compatibility settings to Maximise Compatibility:

Settings > Mobile Data > Personal Hotspot >

  • Allow Others to Join - set to ON
  • Maximise Compatibility - set to ON


Otherwise, contact Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
