iPhone Hotspot keeps disconnecting

Tried "Connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)" this has no effect.

This has no effect.

iPhone Hotspot keeps disconnecting for me too automatically, IP13 problem remains

Thanks man! It works to me in Windows 11. Before, the connection was constantly dropping. Not anymore.

Yes, exactly I have the same issue and I believe it is due to poor design of Apple products and s.up.d creativities of Steve Jobs.

Thank u i didnt think about cable will ttat work with android too?

Same SIM used on iPad nor 7 years old android do not have disconnect issue; another misleading information is connecting iPhone error in showing hotspot is connected to hotspot from originator.

Plugged in didn’t help in my case. My battery is 100% albeit non-Apple

We are paying a premium price & still getting these unfixable problems.

If I am keeping an Android as a secondary.

I would better switch to Samsung completely.

Hello, I'm sorry for my bad english, I'm from spain.

To keep on hotspot while you are working with your computer Windows or Linux do this:

Open a cmd (windows) or terminal (Linux)

Make a ipconfig command to know the gateway of your iphone (Puerta de enlace, in spanish). That's the local ip of your iphone.

in my computer it is like this:

c:\users|tirso\ipconfig

Adaptador de LAN inalámbrica Wi-Fi:

Sufijo DNS específico para la conexión. . :

Dirección IPv4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x ->not this

Máscara de subred . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.240

Puerta de enlace predeterminada . . . . . : xxx.xx.xx.xx -> THIS IS THE IP that you need (gateway)

In windows write ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -t

In linux just ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

minimize the cmd or terminal.

This will maintain constant communication with your iPhone and prevent it from disconnecting.

As it is a local communication (between iPhone and computer), it does not use megabytes of internet.

It works perfect for me.

Your welcome.

Hi, I have a physical SIM card for internet and eSIM for phone calls. So if I use a hotspot I never get disconnected because of a call, because I turn that card off for the duration of the hotspot. In all other cases (new email, etc) you have to set focus mode where you exclude all necessary apps

What I did on my iphone 12 Pro Max was go into settings>Personal Hotspot> and remove Maximize compatibility. Now it does not disconnect like it use to before.
