How do I find out who is connected to my personal hotspot on iPhone

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

Obviously you're not a Hotspot Power User and is clueless like the rest who doesn't know the answer but just wanted to add your two cents.

iPhone Hotspot will only alow maximum of 5 connections. If you're a super user and wanted to add another device than you have to turn off the hotspot and turn it back on. Hoping the 6th device would be connected to the hotspot before other devices crowd it out. I use both IOS and Android for business.

On my Android I can select which devices can have access without having to fight for access with my own devices in the home. If you don't know an answer than don't answer. Otherwise your wasting people's time filtering through incoherent ramblings!
