Personal Hotspot is greyed out after upgrading to iOS 17!

Personal Hotspot is greyed out after upgrading device (iPhone 14 Pro) to latest iOS 17. I can't enable it, I tried network reset with no success. I check another customer of the same MNO and his iPhone 12 with iOS 17 has the personal hotspot feature available.


I only noticed this after being in a situation where I needed to enable the feature and after discovering it, I must say is disappointing. I don't think a total device reset to factory is an option at this time.


any assistance is greatly appreciated.


PS: I forgot to add that the feature isn't available in Settings --> Cellular --> where it suppose to be. However, if you swipe down and hold down the WiFi icon the Personal Hotspot feature is greyed out...

iPhone 14 Pro
