Hotspot Mode won’t Stay On

I know this is probably a feature or security protection option, but my phone keeps disabling the Hotspot mode seconds after something disconnects. It’s actually very annoying. I want to manually turn on or off my hotspot mode based on when I choose and not have some feature enabled that is trying to protect or save my data.

Is there a way to disable this feature so that my Hotspot will stay on until I turn it off manually?

Again, I know this is probably not the best option, but with 4 kids, my iPad and Laptop, it’s really annoying to have to keep turning the hotspot back on just because it wasn’t is use for 3 minutes.

Thanks in advance.

You can try keeping the iPhone plugged in, or keep one device connected continuously. It will turn off if not actively being used and not connected to power, because it uses power, Wi-Fi and cellular data continuously.
