Hello everyone,


I wish to know if there is a way to create a shortcut on the ipad to make this steeps:

  1. Find the iphone tethering network
  2. Connect to the iphone network

Hello juliantrejosv,


To create a new shortcut on your iPad to automatically connect to your iPhone Personal Hotspot, you can follow these steps:


1. In the Shortcuts app  on your iOS or iPadOS device, Tap  in the upper-right corner of the screen.
An empty, untitled shortcut appears in the shortcut editor.
Empty shortcut editor on an iPhone.
2. Tap New Shortcut, tap Rename, type the name of your shortcut, then tap Done.
3. Tap Add Action.
A list of action categories appears.
4. Tap a category (such as Media or Web), then tap an action in the list to add it to your shortcut.
Note: You may have to scroll to see all the available actions in a category.
You can also touch and hold an action in the list, then drag it to the position you want in the shortcut editor.
5. To add another action, swipe up on the search field at the bottom of the screen, then choose an action.
Tip: When you add another action, the action category you previously chose from opens. To return to the list of all action categories, tap Done.
6. When you’re finished adding actions to your workflow, tap Done.
The shortcut is added to your shortcuts collection, in both the All Shortcuts and My Shortcuts categories.
