Connecting Mac to iPhone hotspot — Apple’s instructions are useless I am trying to connect my Mac to my iPhone hotspot. At Share your internet connection from iPhone - Apple Support I see this: “Use Bluetooth: To make sure your iPhone is discoverable, go to Settings > Bluetooth and leave the screen showing. On a Mac, use Bluetooth to connect your Mac and iPad. On your iPhone, tap the name of your Mac, then follow the onscreen instructions on your Mac.” Why does it say “use Bluetooth to connect your Mac and iPad? These are not even instructions for connecting a Mac to an iPad. These are supposed to be instructions for connecting a Mac to an iPhone. It’s like these instructions need some additional proofreading and edits. Look at the heading at the top of the page: “Share your internet connection from iPhone.” And look at that last sentence: “On your iPhone, tap the name of your Mac, then follow the onscreen instructions...”. There are no onscreen instructions. When I tap the name of my Mac, it says “Connected”. There are no instructions on the screen.

Automatically Connect to Instant Hotspot How do I auto-connect my late-2013 Big Sur MacBook Pro to the hotspot of my iOS 15.5 iPhone XS? I was able to do this with the same MBP and an iPhone 6S (15.5), though unreliably, but now I'm always having to connect manually :-(
