Personal hotspot not working iOS 17.3

I've got the same issue. whether my mac is working with my iphones 12 mini, 12 (both on 17.3) nor my windows laptops.

I have the same issue connecting a android device. But more specific on the android device: can not obtain ip address was working before 17.3

I have had the same problem since iOS 17.3 now my android device won’t hotspot of my phone but the iPad and other iOS devices are ok. Seems the latest iOS has caused issues with hotspotting on android devise specially Carlinkit

Same for me, since updating to IOS 17.3 my Mac M1 14.3 can't connect to the hotspot, it doesn't get an IP address. Same Mac to an old iPhone 7 is working fine. Tried rebooting MacOS and a hard reset on the IOS 17.3 device. HELP!

Bought an iPhone 14 in Oct 2023, I've been facing this Hotspot issues since the day 1 itself. But sometimes it does connect but the way is kinda frustrating. I have to turn on both Bluetooth and Wifi for this and if my iPhone doesn't show in the available devices list I have to keep toggling on and off the "Maximize Compatibility" switch. Please fix this Apple.

Have the same issue. Have not used hot spot since last year. Today April 20, 2024 I experience same with both my primary carrier and eSIM while travelling. Have iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 17.4.1. Any fix any where?

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Hotspot issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

This seems purely coincidental so please check the Setting on your device.

See what each update does: About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

That didn’t work for me

Just Updated my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 17.4 and still has the same issues. Can’t connect my PlayStation portal or any android device to my iPhones hot spot so this has not been fixed.

On the android system I adjusted the connection settings. Default it is on dhcp. I switched it to static and entered the gateway 172.20.10.1, subnet mask 28

dns 172.20.10.1 and ip 172.20.10.4

Not working for me. Running 17.3.1. I usually use this with my tablets and never had an issue before.

I have the same problem after updated to ios 17.3. Can anyone tell me how to solve it. Appreciated.

Same, I can’t find the hotspot + plus no way to change APN .

both of them disappear from settings.

IOS 17.4

Can someone help me please?

Hi. I also encountered this issue while switching from iPhone 12 to 13. The cellular voice on ip12 shows 4G with the personal hotspot visible and working.

using the same sim card on iphone 13 it shows data voice as LTE. The personal hotspot wasn’t showing because the in the mobile data network settings the following details were not included.

please add the carrier name as the apn in the mobile data and personal hotspot

Navigation: Settings > Mobile Data/Cellular > Mobile/Cellular Data Network, if you are using single sim data

if dual sims are used then select the sim first and open the Mobile Data Network.

Yep I did the same with my carrier. Then the tech guy tried my sim in his iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 17.2 and the hotspot worked fine but when the sim is in my iPhone 14 Pro Max on the latest iOS the hotspot does not work which shows it’s definitely an apple issue since the updates.
