My pic shows you as far as I can get. The spinning wheel to the right seems to act like the Apple spinning beach ball and indicate the feature is "busy" and I can't proceed.

OK, then I would suggest your next step would be to go to reset your device:

• On an iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
• On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Side and Volume Down buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
• On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

If that doesn't allow you to go into the Personal Hotpspot setting to turn it off, then try resetting your Network settings:

Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings. The spinning wheel next to your Hotspot option implies that it is currently turned on and maybe looking for a Bluetooth or USB connection.

While a suggestion for previous iOS upgrade and battery issue was to consider

the battery was weak before latest upgrade, I'm not necessarily a follower now.

My iPhone SE 64 (with mophie battery case) seems OK, while still on iOS 11.2.6.

Upgrade prompts haven't been heeded. Will the world as iPhone knows it, end?

While my iPhone works OK and still on 11.2.6. Against my wishes

the problematic iOS 11.4.1 has downloaded itself. And is posed to

install itself once iPhone SE (64GB sm display model) is charged.

An answer appears to be within a newer version, as of yet not openly

released to the public. I've enough 'offline troubles' in general; I don't

need another layer of hi-tech problems à la mode ~ Unless it's a treat.

Maybe I'll pop the SE in the microwave and top it with real ice cream?!😝

I guess I'm a bit confused about what you are seeing for the Personal Hotspot setting. There should be an "On/Off" switch at the top of the Personal Hotspot screen so you can turn it off completely.

You can access that screen by either going to Settings>Cellular>Personal Hotspot, or by going to Settings>Personal Hotspot:

Is this where you are not able to get to the detail screen? Is it the Personal Hotspot menu item where it won't go any further?

Just an update. I left the Personal Hotspot wheel spinning while my iPhone 6 was on charge. Eventually (I checked it hours later) the "busy" wheel stops spinning and I can go into the Hotspot setting. That leads to getting the notice attached below. As I knew, I never set up the hotspot service for use so I don't think it was actually attempting to connect to a hotspot during that time and was likely not a huge battery drain. Frequent texting or anything that keeps the screen active cause rapid battery drain. But still other times after closing most apps from connectivity and locking the screen Off, I pull my phone from my pocket to find it's inexplicably low on battery.

Charging will not keep up with the battery drop rate. No background refresh turned on.

Battery App says battery rating is 90%. I replaced it 2 months ago.

Apple, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS POS IOS???????????????

Stop patting yourself on the back for company net worth and fix this crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no point in having a temper tantrum towards Apple here. This is a user to user support forum. Apple is not going to get your message, and we can't help you. Take it up with Apple: Apple - Feedback

This seemed like a network related issue so I reset Network Settings first. No change except of course for losing all my saved Wi-Fi log-ins to join the various networks for all the different work locations I travel to. (In my history with iPhone this never seems to fix anything but just ends up being a PIA).

What ever happened to Carrier settings such as updating PRL? Did that go away in one of these updates? I was on Android many years ago and I left because all the updates were not consistent over the many devices and carriers. I always ran into carrier related software bugs after updates. This is starting to feel the same with Apple updates.

FYI, I have not seen a screen as you have shown with a Personal Hotspot On/Off button. I don't have the service and never set it up with my carrier Sprint. I experience the same as this (except this poster has Hotspot and can't access it whereas I don't have it and Don't want to access it so the continuous activity and "lock-out" is that much more annoying). : Unable to turn on HOTSPOT iPhone 6 S+

I have the same problem with iOS 11.4.1 on iPhone 8 Plus

Everything was perfectly ok with 11.4 now the phone seems to drain a lot of battery doing nothing.

Since a year I have turned off location services for most of the apps except for the necessary and background app refresh is also off but still for some reason my battery is drai

Same here. The company apple has gone from world class to complete f* up. They care more about getting it out than getting it right.

I can’t even access the battery option. Constantly resets itself. What a health and safety issue.

Really considering switching to another brand. Fed up

I suggest that if you're having any kinds of battery issues right after the update, go to the settings and reset your phone to all settings and network settings. don't worry, it won't reset any apps or any data on your iPhone. And see for yourself if you're still experiencing any battery drain issues. Because every time i'm installing a software update to my phone, i always used that method and it works 87% all the time.

Before posting a message here, I have tried any kind of settings reset: all settings, after network settings. And the issue is still present.

At the moment using my iPhone without Wi-Fi, Location services and all the time on Power saving mode. At least it help somehow to use the iPhone.

Just a terrible update. My phone restarted 3 times today. Battery life was bad to begin with, even with a brand new battery installed, and now it's just ridiculous. As an example, at over 30% left I was simply doing a search for a particular email. After a few minutes there first was an error, and then the phone just shut down. iPhone 6.

I say we boycott all apple products until they put their customers first and fix the problems before releasing an update and not fixing the problem, making the problem worse and/or causing new problems.

Enough is enough!!

This update is terrible on its own. My phone keep restarting ever since I upgraded it to 11.4.1 or so. How can I be able to solve this problem. I can not remove my phone from power supple to operating else it will off and keep restarting. I need urgent help
