Personal Hotspot greyed out on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I'm on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with iOS 26.3. My personal hotspot button is greyed out, and I cannot allow others to join.


I've looked through the internet and have tried the following:

  1. turn off Wi-Fi
  2. Restart my phone
  3. Reset network settings
  4. Reset my mobile data settings


iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26

Contact your carrier. Your eSIM may need to be re-provisioned or your account reset.


Do you use a VPN or ever had VPN software on your iPhone?
