Instant hotspot function doesn't work between MBPR Late '13 and iPhone 5S

So Apple introduced this so cool feature, activating your Private Hotspot while being on your MacBook and Bluetooth and Wifi activated with just one click. However, it doesn't work for me. And it really annoys me. Whenever I am in the train and working on my MacBook, I want to profit from my iPhone's 4G network. So I click on the Wifi icon on my Macbook, it shows the "Private Hotspot" option to connect with my iPhone 5S. BUT: IT NEVER WORKS! He always fails to connect.

Connecting to my iPhone's network via USB works. But why plugging in a cable when they offer a wireless and (I hope so) faster option?!


What is the problem this time, Apple?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.1
