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
Never experienced this before either
I’m going to clear up something, because I don’t think my post was clear enough, so after amount of time not specified by the user regardless if you have low data mode, enabled or disabled, it automatically turns off the hotspot, regardless of how much battery you have, regardless of your mobile signal, regardless of what mobile plan you’re using regardless of what service provide you using regardless of what iOS version you’re using, regardless of what iPhone or iPad you’re using Regardless of what security settings you have and it’s affected me, using an iPhone 6s Plus and my cousin using an iPhone 14 and iPhone 11 and an iPhone 8 and it’s really frustrating to have this problem as it means me a visually impaired person having to go to her individual just to make her turn on the personal hotspot again. This doesn’t happen on android is android has a setting in mobile hotspot to allow devices to stay connected for as long as possible so say if my iPhone 5 like even though I don’t have one but this is just an example so my galaxy S 24 ultra is using is using a hotspot from an iPhone 6 ultra promax and then like 10 2030 minutes later, the hotspot gets disconnected, but yet on the flipside, when I use my galaxy as a hotspot, it doesn’t disconnect The iPhone
I’m just saying I’ve never replicated your situation with a few devices and iOS releases.
“I’m going to clear up something” - Proceeds to write a few run on sentences that are even more confusing than the original post.
I know what you’re saying though, I often have to go to my hotspot settings and remind the iPhone that it should be available, even though my settings are set as such. My son will have to ask me to do it whenever he wants to join from his iPad.
