My mediacom wi-fi has to be repaired in 4 days and I am using my iphone cellular data hotspot to work on my iPad but my hotspot keeps on turning off after a few minutes when my ipad is not being used. I want my ipad hotspot connection to my iphone remaining until I turn off my ipad. Is an override possible ?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Your iPhone hotspot will automatically shut-off (to save power) if the WiFi connection to client devices becomes idle for a period of time. This function cannot be overridden.
However, providing that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID, you iPad can automatically re-establish the hotspot connection with your iPad:
On your iPad:
Settings > WiFi > Auto-Join Hotspot - set to Automatic
You should note that Bluetooth must be switched-on on both devices for the Auto-Join function to work. Bluetooth pairing is not required.
