iOS has had an issue for years now, where if you lock the screen of the iPhone that using the personal hotspot, it will automatically disconnect for some stupid reason. Android doesn’t have this problem. I think the reasoning is, because iOS and android used to different hotspots. Say I use my sisters, android devices are hotspot, and that never happens when I lock my device. Can Apple use the same Wi-Fi hotspot very because this is really annoying

iOS 16.7.2 here and unless my hotspot is actively in use at all times, it will disconnect any and all devices connected to it after approx 5-10 minutes of standby. Irks me to no end. Activate a family member’s Android hotspot and it’ll stay on until we deactivate it.
Also struggle to get any of my ereaders to connect to my hotspot, even when “maximize…” is on. What a hot mess Apple, do better!
Another thing, can iPhones be connected to a wifi and be used as a hotspot for other devices at the same time? Androids can do it
no, it can’t. That’d require 2-way wifi antenna, which the iphone doesn’t have.
No but iOS makes sharing WiFi passwords trivially easy.
I do have this issue constantly.
i had the same issues with my xs max but with my 15 plus not anymore
Is this the same people that posted the fake 12% battery health post?
Never had that issue.
I’ve had a similar issue where my hotspot would stop after some time when the phone was new. Somehow it got fixed by itself after some time lol
This only occurs when no one is connected to the hotspot.
iOS definitely has hotpot issues compared to Android
2020 se doesn’t happen to me USB or wifi
Never had this issue. I use my hot spot a lot.
Connect to it with android tablets, iPads, windows PC, other iPhones. I set up the hot spot, lock my phone and lay it on the table.
It may only happen if hotspot user has also kept phone idle for some time.
Rubbish, I use my hotspot with the screen locked and still in my pocket.
Funny i had this problem with my huawei when it was locked and far away from computer it just turned off the hotspot
Turn off low data mode. That’ll stop the disconnecting issues.
