How do I find out who is connected to my personal hotspot on iPhone 6?
The blue bar comes up at the top and says Personal Hotspot: 1 connection.
How do I find out who this connection is?
Is there an app or is there a way in iOS 8.3 to find out what device is using my data?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3
There is, in fact, an app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inet-pro-network-scanner/id305242949?mt=8. I use it often when working with network issues. Hit the "Network Scanner" button in this app when your hotspot is up and running and it should give you a list of all devices connected to it, together with their IP addresses, device names (if applicable) and much more information about each connection. There is a free version of this app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inet-network-scanner/id340793353?mt=8, but I'm not quite sure whether this gives you the scan ability. Would be worth to try it. Please note that a device that was connected to your hotspot but was then disconnected might still show up in the list for a while. But, at least, this app should give you the comforting knowledge that only your own devices are actually eating up your data plan...

Thanks for the confirmation.
I was hoping you'd see that and weigh in.
Which is shared in the handshake. As previously mentioned, there are many tools and instruction readily available with a basic search to assist you in discovering that shared key.
I repeat, you know nothing about it. It would take hours to explain why you know nothing about it, so I'm not going to bother.
Repeat till your hearts content Larry, I would strongly disagree.

You are entitled to your own opinion. It does not, however, change facts.
There is no way to check that.
Number of connected devices depends on the carrier and software version.

Thank you for a post that made me laugh out loud!
Imagine a world where Apple build basic functionality into their OS and you don't have to download an app to do even the simplest of things.....
It seems like a basic feature that should be included without having to download an app to do so.
What does your 'iCloud' account have to do with connecting to a wifi hotspot, are they now suddenly combined in some way by Apple?
hey
