"Macbook not able to detect my iphone through hotspot wifi: I have an iphone 15. It works fine , I am able to connect wifi and my older iphone via hotspot. However my MacBook isn’t able to detect my iphone 15 via wifi when I open hotspot on my phone. I have tried everything but nothing works."

Troubleshooting Hotspot:

A. Try Other Networks:

Sharing an Internet connection can scramble things up on a LAN.

1. Go Here: Share the Internet Connection on Mac with other network users - Apple Support
2. As it Reads: "WARNING: If your internet connection and your local network use the same port (Ethernet, for example), investigate possible side effects before you turn on internet sharing. In some cases, sharing your internet connection disrupts the network. If you use a cable modem, for example, you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service."

B. See this Link: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support

C. What else to try...
