Hotspot automatically shut down after upgrading to ios15

I have never experience such inconvenience until I have upgraded my iOS to latest version 15. May I know why the hotspot will shut down on its own while there is a device connected to it? And my iPhone is on charging mode? Don’t tell me it’s to conserve energy???

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Use these steps first

Restart the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot and the other device that needs to connect to Personal Hotspot. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS. On the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings.


If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi


The Hotspot is a carrier-specific feature. Contact your carrier, if it is not appearing on your device.


Meanwhile...


Check the following

  1. Network coverage and stability
  2. Data Balance
  3. On your windows (See if WiFi Auto Joins is enabled)
  4. Also, check if you have any stronger WiFi signal around your computer.
