Personal hotspot does not show up after iOS 8 upgrade.

i try search mobile networks , my phone is on ios 7 but then since i thought it only available on ios 8 and up then i update till ios 10, now i can't find mobile network.

if you can't find it like me

choose cellular > cellular data options > cellular data network > fill in the "personal hotspot" , enter what ever you want in the APN , username , password column > back 1x > you'll se personal hotspot button below the cellular data options

personal hotspot > click the white button until it switch on and turns green > back > you'll see personal hotspot bellow the cellular 😊

HI, i am too facing the same exact problem, i wonder where did the hotspot option gone, everything was ok on the ios7.1.2 but now it's gone.

I had the same problem, my Personal Hotspot tab on my wifi+cellular iPad Air just disappeared after upgrading to iOS 8. I tried everything from turning my data on and off, LTE on and off, roaming on and off, reset APN settings, reset all network settings, turned the iPad off and back on, removed the SIM card and reinserted it...nothing worked until I went into Settings > Mobile Data > APN Settings and set my carrier's APN setting the same under the Personal Hotspot heading as it was under the Mobile Data heading.

Immediately after this my Personal Hotspot tab reappeared beneath Mobile Data and I was able to use my iPad air as a hotspot again. Hope this helps. Just for the record I use Vodafone in India as my service provider and the correct APN setting under both Mobile Data and Personal Hotspot is "iphone"

Edit: Try entering anything under your "Personal Hotspot" APN Settings and it should give you back your Personal Hotspot tab. Then all you need to do is turn the Personal Hotspot back on again!

upgrade too ios8 no personal hotspot it's missing

This worked for me ! Thanks a lot.

Glad to have helped!

THanks for help, it works,

just type your carrier's name to the personal hot spot heading ( at APN setting)

now i can switch on off toggle of personal hotspot normally

Thank you very much. It works well. I use the Airtel sim. The APN name is airtelgprs.com. Leave the user name and password blank. Enjoy the new features of iOS 8

Thanks. same thing happened with my IPhone 5S after up graded to 8. problem solved as per your suggestion.

When I upgraded to iOS 8, I noticed that tethering on my Mac stopped working on Wind Mobile. After looking around for it, I found out how to enable it again, simply copy the values from the Cellular Data APN to the Personal Hotspot APN.

1. Start Settings app
2. Choose Cellular
3. Choose Cellular Data Network
4. Copy the settings you have for Cellular Data to Personal Hotspot

When you go back to the Settings app, you should see Personal Hotspot again.

TThanks it work out with me also
