Sharing iPhone 13 Pro as network available in settings

My iPhone is not shown as an available network on my iPad as it was previously. I desire to connect through my phone because of restrictions on local network.

There are a couple of reasons why your iPhone 13 Pro might not be showing up as a network on your iPad. Here are some things to try:

  • Make sure Personal Hotspot is enabled on your iPhone:
    1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
    2. Tap on Cellular or Mobile Data.
    3. Tap on Personal Hotspot.
    4. Toggle the switch next to Personal Hotspot to turn it on.
  • Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on for both devices: Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth need to be enabled for devices to see each other when connecting via Personal Hotspot.
  • Restart both your iPhone and iPad: A simple restart can often resolve connectivity issues.
