My iPhone hotspot is not showing on my tv but it is connected to other devices.

My hotspot is connected to my other two phones but it’s not showing on my tv. I’ve restarted my phone, reset my phone network and all but it’s still not showing. I need help, anyone?

You need help with the TV, since we know that other devices are connecting to the Hotspot signal from your iPhone.


I'm not sure how much help we can provide for a TV on a site that provides help for the iPhone.


Maybe if you could provide the manufacturer name and product model number of your TV, another user who may have the same or similar model TV could provide some assistance.


If it were me, I would contact the Customer Support folks for your TV and ask for help that way as well. Yes, they will try to blame the iPhone, but you know better since other devices are connecting just fine. The iPhone sends out the same signal to every device. It is up to the device to connect.


It's just like your favorite local radio channel that is broadcasting a signal from their tower. The radios in your home can connect to the signal just fine, but the radio in your car won't connect. You can't blame the radio station.....they are sending the same signal to everyone.
