Hotspot disconnects when screen turns off

When I have friends or family connect to my hotspot and my screen turns off, it automatically disconnects them. Is there a way to prevent this? Also leaving my screen on just drains the battery faster, and I never had this problem before I got an iPhone 13 mini.

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 personal hotspot on Iphone intermittenly turns off by itself How can I fix, that when the personal hotspot on Iphone intermittenly turns off by itself. It's very inconvinient to reconnect every time when it disconnects. I can not live my laptop while there are recordings from the Internet.

Look through the Internet, there are a lot of dissatisfied people.

The Hotspot is a Carrier Specific feature. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider), the agency that issued the SIM / eSIM to you.
