Why can't I connect my iPhone 15 internet to my Windows 11 laptop?

There was a need for the Internet on my Windows 11 laptop.

I chose to distribute the Internet through my iPhone 15.

As per the instructions, turn on the knowledgeable access point via WIFI on the laptop and connect.

I don’t think there’s any internet, but I want everything on my iPhone, and everything works.

Having tried it through the cable, the same reason.

Nothing works through Bluetooth either.

I manually connected the IP by changing the laptop settings.

But there is still no internet. Having distributed the Internet through another POCO phone,

everything was requested. Ale through my iPhone does not do anything

Everything works for me. When you open Settings --> Mobile Service --> Mobile Data Network. The APN field will say Internet. You need to change it depending on your operator. My operator said to write "internet", but it's not. My operator is called Kyivstar so I wrote KS. After that everything worked. Thanks to a short video on YouTube

Your carrier is responsible for your iPhone Hotspot. Check with them for troubleshooting. Do you have a VPN on your iPhone? If so, delete the profile in settings and try again.

I took out the SIM card from my iPhone and put it in my old Redmi. The access point has internet, I connected to it from my laptop and everything worked. So there must be some problem with the iPhone.

Do you have a VPN on the laptop? If so, remove it until you are able to get the device connected to the hotspot. Make sure there are no settings restricting the hotspot on the Windows machine. But as I said earlier, your carrier has to troubleshoot your connection and whether or not the internet is working on the hotspot. I would suggest that you have the carrier reset the hotspot and verify the password for the connection.

My phone carrier has no restrictions. VPN is off. Tried again, still doesn't work
