Q: I have a 2 year old iPad and have upgraded the iOS as they came available. Currently the iPad runs iOS 7.03. Today a friend was talking about "Personal Hot Spots". His iPad displays this option via 'setting', but is not even listed on mine. Plse help.

I have a 2 year old iPad updated to iOS 7.03. For some reason "Personal Hotspot" does not even come up as an option in " Settings" . I do not know if it was there in previous iOS versions as I've only just heard of it. I have tried it on 3G and WiFi. I have entirely deleted my WiFi and rebooted the iPad, all with no joy.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3

You're running late: 7.0.4 was released 14th November.

Upgraded to iOS 7.04, and that has achieved nothing. Personal Hotspot does not even exist as an option in Settings. Not sure that the age of my iPad is a factor, as my friends old iPad is older than mine and still uses iOS (6. Something) and it offers this option.

Any other ideas?
Cheers

As Stated... The iPad 2 does not offer this Feature.
