Personal Hotspot Disconnects for my Friend

My friend can only connect to my Personal Hotspot in order to use internet, when I open the Settings/Personal Hotspot view and leave it open for a few seconds. He is able to connect automatically, though the moment I do not use my phone anymore, he disconnects and I have to reopen the Settings view.

How can he stay connected, even if my phone goes on ‘standby’ mode? Obviously, I still have internet when not using the phone actively, so should he. Any hints are greatly appreciated 🙏

The Hotspot is a carrier-specific feature. Contact your carrier, if it is not appearing on your device.

Also, check the following

On your windows (See if WiFi Auto Joins is enabled)
Also, check if you have any stronger WiFi signal around your computer.
