If your iPhone's hotspot isn't connecting to other devices, here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check Personal Hotspot Settings
- Go to Settings ➡️ Personal Hotspot and ensure it's turned on.
- Verify that the Allow Others to Join option is enabled.
2. Restart Devices
- Restart both your iPhone and the device trying to connect to the hotspot.
3. Check Wi-Fi Password
- Ensure the password displayed in Settings ➡️ Personal Hotspot matches what you're entering on the other device.
4. Enable Maximize Compatibility
- If you're using an iPhone 12 or later, go to Settings ➡️ Personal Hotspot and turn on Maximize Compatibility. This switches the hotspot to a 2.4 GHz frequency, which is more compatible with older devices.
5. Update iOS
- Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Software Update and ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version.
6. Reset Network Settings
- Go to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➡️ Reset ➡️ Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi, cellular, and VPN settings but won't delete your data.
7. Contact Your Carrier
- Ensure your mobile plan supports Personal Hotspot and that your carrier settings are up to date.
