Personal hotspot does not show up after iOS 8 upgrade.

Hi,


I have just upgraded my os version to iOS 8 but some how my personal hotspot does not seem to work. I have no idea where it has gone.


I have even tried restoring it from itunes.


Please see if you can help me out.


Thanks,

I don't get the "Personal Hotspot" heading under mobile data. Only "Mobile Data" and "MMS" settings under Settings>Mobile>Mobile Data


Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue so that I can start using tethering again? I am very frustrated with ios8 for this reason, and my business relies on my ability to use the personal hotspot.


Many thanks,

Regards.

Nic

> 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.

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!


Actually that was helping, thank you for sharing.
