Ios 8 personal hotspot is gone!

Hello. 🙂 I had the same problem but i look further. So you can find it in Settings -> Cellular -> Personal Hotspot. Just scroll a little down in the Cellular tab and you will see it. P.S. The Cellular Data must be turned on to see it.

Glad I helped you. 🙂

Have a nice day,

Nick.

I have the same issue as @Karlucis on my iPads mini (standart and retina). I cannot find Hotspot settings anywhere, even in Settings -> Cellular

I had same your problem but now I fixed it.

Go to settings > cellular and turn all of Button to off then turn on cellular data and data roaming.

back to settings and enjoying personal hotspot.

I have an iPhone5 and iOS8 and the Personal Hotspot is NOT under the CELLULAR DATA

Ok, so where is yours then?

I also have the same exact problem.

I Updated to ios8 on Ipad 4 yesterday and when i went out with it today and tried to turn the hotspot ON on the ipad .. The option instanty disappeared.

why on earth would this happen? !!

Because iOS 8 is so awful. And Apple are making us to buy the new iPhone 6/6+ .... That's why ... iOS 8 is lagging, full of bugs ... why on the earth they will do that ... because they want our money...

no quite, follow these steps

1. click on SETTINGS
2. Cellular
3. Cellular Data Network
4. under Personal Hotspost (enter any user name, no matter what as it will get deleted)
5. Go bak to Cellular Data Network
6. the Personal HotSpot OFF now appears
7. Go back to Settings and you will see the Personal Hotspot option as it was under iOS7

I have not idea but MaxBook's solution worked and a "Setup persol Hotspot" option appeared then I clicked it and Viola "Hot spot is back under Cellular data.

Thanks a lot.

MaxBook's solution doesn't work on my iPad retina. Any ideas on how to get the personal hotspot back? I'm going nuts, since I frequently depend on this feature to work when in transit.

Basic trouble shooting steps are Restart and Reset in that order: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset No data is lost.

If that doesn't work then try a Restore: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings Do a backup first though as it will erase your data. You can recover your data afterward from the backup.

iPhone 5, had same issue. It works now. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! Solved it for me. 🙂

For IPad with IOS 8,

Go to Settings, Cellular Data, APN Settings, in personal hotspot section enter same APN as your ccellular data APN. Now go one step back you must see personal hotspot in Cellular Data under Settings.

Hi Murali,

Thanks for your earlier post in connection with the Thread.

It worked perfectly for me.
