I am currently using iPhone 4. After upgrading to iOS 6, I couldn't locate Personal Hotspot. I have tried to reset the network setting but to no avail. It is not even under General - Cellular Data. Thus, I have no way to turn it on. Basically it just disappeared from my phone. Please kindly help me. Thanks.
iPhone 4, iOS 6
This does not solve your issue, but, I am having the same problems. I am on an AT&T Mobile Share plan and my FaceTime over Cellular and Mobile Hotspot do not work since the iOS6 upgrade on my 4S. I also reset my network settings, to no avail. I'm not sure if I need to contact AT&T or Apple regarding the issue.
Go to settings--->cellular data-->setup Personal Hotspot
If you dont see it, restore your iphone using itunes.
Is there a simpler way to get the Personal Hotspot setting back rather than restoring my iphone? Thanks
The restore didn't work for me. I talked to two folks at Apple today and 3 at AT&T and both groups are blameing each other.
It was working fine until iOS6 install, I'm on 4S. I've reset everything and even restored on iTunes, to no avail. Searching the Internet, this seems to be a common problem with no solution.
I have two exactly the same iPhone 4 (bought them in same day). There only difference is serial numbers.
They both on the same carrier (outside of US).
I installed iOS6 yesterday on both of them . One works just fine. Maps looks great, 3 settings in map settings (km or miles, English labels, labels size). On another there is no Personal Hotspot, maps looks really really simple (just white roads, no special symbols etc) and only one setting in Map settings (km or miles). So this is definatelly not carrier issue.

I reset the network settings with no avail like everyone else. I didn't want to restore my device, "ain't nobody got time for that". So I called AT&T and had them change my Teathering plan from 4GB to 5GB and the Hotspot miraculously appeared. I then had the agent change it back to the 4GB data plan.
Rhino82, this worked for me as well, I just had at&T quickly de-enroll and re-enroll me while my phone was off.
Hmmm, I've been struggling to find where the 'Personal Hotspot' has gone also. Think I've found it, I think it has moved in iOS 6. Try :
Settings > General > Mobile Data > Set Up Personal Hotspot
Fingers crossed.
Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot
Same issue here. Tryied to reset settings, network but nothing. The restore via itunes returned an error, so I decided to leave it. I whant the personal hotspot back. I use it to share internet for my iPad.
What a mess. Hope there will be a solution soon.
With verizon I had to re add the service with my new iPhone 5 as the price changed.
Found the problem. I was using a program callers ONAVO, with installs a certificate on the iPhone to enable data compression. Just remove it and the personal hotspot option shows up.
Remove the ONAVO certificate if you are using this program and you´re done. That solves my personal hotspot missing.
Hope it helps someone else.
Regards!
I previously did install Onavo. But had the app deleted before I installed iOS 6. Still I couldn't find my Personal Hotspot. Do I need to delete Onavo certificate manually? How to do that? Pls advise. Thanks.
Yes.
Remove the certificate and the personal hostspot will appear.
Goto settings->general->profiles
You will find the ONAVO certificate there. Click remove.
Then check again the settings for the personal hotspot option.
Regards!
Thank you so much. I have my Personal Hotspot back. Thanks mate.
