No. What you are looking ot perform is not an option.


Screen Time Overruling Hotspot Sharing:

Screen Time is what one would expect to used for this. But, Hotspot Sharing is not a feature of Screen Time.


So, Recommend this to Apple:

Being not an option, recommend this to AppleApple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what their customers prefer, and what features to include in iOS versions to come. Apple will know nothing of your ideas if you don't provide them to them.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
  2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that you want this to be an option and why. Include the URL of this thread.
  4. Proceed from there as necessary

Hello~ You can try this…*Go to Settings > Cellular, and make sure that the hotspot is disabled. Then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, and enter your passcode if prompted. Scroll down to Cellular Data Changes, and switch that to Don't Allow. They may be able to reactivate it. If you truly want to stop them for using the hotspot…contact your carrier and have that feature removed.
