3+ How to Enable Personal Hotspot on iPhone and iPad

By Yama

Hukum96.com – A hotspot allows you to share your iPhone’s data connection with other devices that do not have internet access, especially when you are on the go. Here’s how to easily activate hotspots on your iPhone and turn your phone into a WiFi hotspot for other devices.

Ever wanted to share the cellular connection from your iPhone device with other devices nearby like laptops and iPads? You’re in luck, it’s actually quite easy to turn an iPhone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot that offers internet access to anyone nearby.

When should I create a WiFi hotspot with my iPhone?

For example, let’s say you travel a long way away with your iPhone and a MacBook or iPad device that only supports Wi-Fi networks to do some work. At this point, you only have two options: work on a device with a larger screen but not be able to connect to the internet, or work on a smaller screen but can connect to the internet. I find these two picks really annoying.

Turning your iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot gives you a more convenient third option that allows your laptop and tablet to access the internet and make your work easier. Wi-Fi hotspots are great for work, especially when you are traveling.

Remarks:

There is one other thing to keep in mind, especially if you have a limited allotment, you can only use the WiFi hotspot for a short time. Note that your MacBook, iPad, or PC may be consuming more data than just browsing on your iPhone.

How to enable hotspot on iPhone

Creating a hotspot by turning your iPhone into a portable WiFi is no different than having an existing WiFi router in your home. IPhone connects to the internet using a 3G / 4G cellular data connection and then broadcasts over a Wi-Fi connection that can be connected to a MacBook, iPad, PC, or other device. You can even make a wired connection to your computer’s USB port.

There are three ways to create a hotspot on your iPhone:

Use the fast route

If you already have an iPhone with iOS 13, the quickest way to activate Hotspot is as follows:

  • Please pull the screen of your smartphone down from the top to open the Control Center function. On older iPhones, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center.
  • Press and hold the block icon that contains the airplane mode, data, WiFi, and bluetooth logos.
  • This will open up a larger block of icons, including the AirDrop logo and personal hotspot.
  • To turn the hotspot on, simply tap the personal hotspot logo and it will change to “Discoverable”.

Here's how to activate the hotspot quickly

In previous iOS versions it was not possible to activate Hotspot from the control center. Hotspot can only be set in the settings. Hotspot can still be activated through the settings in iOS 13, but in a slightly different way.

  • Open settings.
  • Tap Personal Hotspot (under Cellular Data). This will automatically activate your hotspot on iOS 13.
  • New options in iOS 13 include new options for “Share hotspot with family members” and “Allow others to join”.

If you want to create a hotspot, I recommend protecting it with a password so that not everyone can access it.

Enable the hotspot on iOS 13

But you or anyone else in the Family Sharing option can automatically log into your hotspot without entering a password. This is a new feature in iOS 13.

Tap on the Family Sharing option and you will see an option for other family members to join your hotspot. You can choose between Request Approval or Automatic to determine how they join your hotspot.

  • Open the Settings menu.
  • Then tap Cellular.
  • Tap Personal Hotspot and change the Hotspot option to On. (Tap the slider so it turns green.)
  • Tap on “WLAN password” and enter your desired password.
  • Now check the hotspot name listed below to make sure the hotspot is working properly.
