Use these steps first

Restart the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot and the other device that needs to connect to Personal Hotspot. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS. On the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings.


If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi


The Hotspot is a carrier-specific feature. Contact your carrier, if it is not appearing on your device. Please see the pic below



Also, check the following

  1. Network coverage and stability
  2. Data Balance
  3. On your windows (See if WiFi Auto Joins is enabled)
  4. Also, check if you have any stronger WiFi signal around your computer.

Troubleshooting Hotspot:


Start Here: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support


What else to try...

Reset Location & Privacy Settings:

It will reset its prompt for this connection, prompting you once more, hopefully not going through a loop this time.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Enter: your Passcode
  5. Tap: Reset
