Greyed-out Personal Hotspot on iPhone 16 Pro Max after iOS 26.0.1 update

Hi community,

please let me know if anyone else has faced this issue and share the solution if possible.

Im using Iphone 16 pro max and the problem is from few day the personal hot spot option is greyed out.Like i am not allowed to access it. Neither from the control center nor from settings.

My sim carrier is ufone. My mobile data is working fine. I have tried it on another phone and the hotspot works there. So the issue is with the device

i have contacted withe Pple customer support as well but still didn’t get any solution

tried resetting the network settings, on off airplane mode and also reinterring the sim.

pleaseee help me if you have experienced this. I updated the software to ios 26.0.1 last week and i think the issue is from then bcs i believe my hot spot was working fine before that
