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

    A bit hard to understand you but no iOS does not disconnect all the devices when you lock the phone. I often use hotspot because the internet at work is shit. My phone does not have to be unlock all day, that would be stupid.

    I think iOS does disconnect the device if there is no network activity after a certain time but I am not very sure about this. Correct me if I am wrong.

      Yes, but when I accidentally hit the side button on my iPhone SE instantly got disconnected so it’s not got anything to do with the network traffic
