iPhone automatically connect to a hotspot even though auto join is set to Never

Hi, I use my spare iPhone 12 Pro Max as a dedicated personal hotspot device. I would connect my Macbook Air. However, I noticed that every time I connect Macbook to it, my iPhone 13 pro, the mobile i am using, would also auto connect to it. This is even though auto-join hotspot is set to Never. Now, my iPhone 13 pro and Macbook has the same appleid while my iPhone 12 Pro Max has a different appleid.

Is there a way to prevent my iPhone 13 from auto join? Now, I have to disconnect from hotspot and forget the iPhone 12 hotspot every time.

iPhone 13 Pro

Hello TexkLiang,

The reason why your iPhone could be doing this is because your iPhone automatically remembers a network that you have previously connected to. If you don’t want your iPhone to be automatically connecting to that network, the best that you can do is forgetting the network.

I hope that this helps, please let us know if you need more help.
