Hot spot turns on without my permission

Every night when I go to sleep, I wake up in the morning and my hotspot is turned on. I’ve been hacked Act before and I worry that this is that problem.

Why does my iPhone show hotspot battery use when I haven’t turned it on? Iphone 14 plus, IOS 18.4 (22E240), Model # MQ413LL/A Here is my issue: When looking in my battery usage I found that my hotspot was quote on quote "turned on" by itself while I was at work. I have no devices that know my hotspot password except for my Playstation 4, which is at home. What I would like apple to explain, is why my hotspot is showing up under battery usage when I have not enabled it. Additionally "Family Sharing" is not enabled and under hotspot, "allow others to join" option is turned on. I have no devices nearby that know the Password to my hotspot connection. If anyone else is experiencing this issue or finds a solution please add your comments below! Thank you kindly! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hotspot keeps turning off on iPhone My hotspot keeps turning off all the time when using one iPhone to provide internet for the another. It stays on for sometimes 5 minutes and then just turns off on the iPhone providing the hotspot. In the settings there is no fix for this issue.

hotspot password changes automatically Hello, my phone is slowing down and working abnormally slow. When I turn my phone on and off, my hotspot password changes and the numbers in the picture constantly appear. My phone has been entered without permission and wifi and wifianalysis files appear in the iPhone analysis section, I would like your help in this regard.

Hi!

In Settings:

Tap Personal Hotspot
Toggle 'Allow Others to Join' off
Tap Family Sharing
Toggle 'Family Sharing' off

You can also change the password to your hotspot to prevent anyone who may have had the password before from rejoining.

iPhone is incredibly secure, as stated by Apple themselves, so it's unlikely that it's been hacked.
