If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support

Verify that you mobile service provider supports hotspot use for streaming devices. They can block that.

For iPhone 12 or later, try the Maximize Compatibility option.

On Apple TV, try the Other option instead of selecting a discovered network, to manually enter credentials.


If you still can’t connect after trying the steps in the support document, then contact Apple for help with your iPhone.
