Android wins in this one, personal hotspot - eviltoast

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

    Personal hotspot doesn’t disconnect because locked screen but rather if there is no network traffic I think.
    Im pretty sure it’s not about locking the screen but could be wrong.
    But there is different problem that probably not much people recognized.
    You can’t simply run hotspot and click power button to off the screen.
    Hotspot is only visible to devices when you STAY on Hotspot settings for few seconds before second device connects to it.
    This is kinda annoying.
