Personal hotspot not working iOS 17.3

It is not coincidental. Please read the postings. 17.2 responds to dhcp requests. 17.3 does not. This is broken functionality that is either intentional or accidental. If it is intentional and requires a config change, Apple care should know about it. They don’t. I spoke to a specialist who doesn’t have a clue how the hotspot software works.

I’m facing the same issue. Since updated to iOS 17.3 the hotspot stopped to work for my company MacBook and other Windows and Android devices. Apple Care spent hours to figure out the issue. Renaming, restart, toggle settings, reset network settings. After that windows and Android devices are working again but the Mac still does not receive an ip address. Now I’m stuck in ping-pong with Apple and my company. Since everything is working fine on iOS 17.2 it’s definitely an issue with Apple IMO. No support, very frustrating.

Called my carrier and requested a refund for the 5GB hotspot services I am suppose to get each month. I suggest you do the same. While it isn’t the carriers fault, they should take this up with Apple.

Started working again after restarting my phone.

I no longer have the “Family Sharing” section in my hotspot setting page. (Where you can allow family share members to Auto/Ask/Never). Completely gone.

I’m the same. Never had an issue before and now my iPhone 14 Plus won’t connect to me MacBook or the TV. Very frustrating.

Wish I didn’t do the update.

My family sharing settings came back yesterday, reset to their defaults. Something server-side?

Exactly the same as me when trying android

Today I fixed this issue with a work around: put in the ip manual, so no dhcp! Issue seems the subnet mask 255.255.255.240 so I had to put in /28 for the subnet mask

Contacting your carrier service might help

Done this. It’s nothing there end
