What information is shared from my phone's browsing history if I'm using mobile hotspot to VPN on work laptop?

If you use your phone as personal hotspot and connect to VPN on your laptop (not phone), then browsing activities performed on the phone can be viewed by your carrier (while traffic from your computer will go through a VPN server).

This includes, but not limits to: full URLs of pages you visit (for HTTP sites only) or website’s IP address (for both HTTP and HTTPS sites), your location (based of carrier’s data), browser’s user agent, and much more.

If you connect to VPN on your phone, those same things are available to your VPN provider (e.g., your company).

if you are connected to VPN, all traffic from that device goes to via VPN(employer) server. however what you are doing on iPhone will not, unless that also is connected to vpn

IF you watch youtube, look for other job, while connected to VPN your employees can see regardless of which browser you use

I'm not sure I got your configuration right.
