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

I’ve been troubleshooting this for days. Sent a bug report to Apple. If you have this problem, please send a bug report via instructions in earlier reply in this post.

Is your cellular provider AT&T or use their networks?

I had this same problem on both of my iphone 13 Pro Max phones, but it worked on my 14 Pro Max.

I called apple support and it turned out that it was a problem with Verizon. I recently changed my plans and when I changed the ones for the 14 Pro Max, it included the capability to Have the phone function as a hot spot, but they did not tell me that the two 13 Pro Max's plans did NOT include it, even though they had this capability before I changed the plans.

Very PO'ed at verizon now.

The way that apple traced it to a verizon issue was going to Settings > Cellular > then click on Set Up Personal Hotspot. The brought up a box that directed me to Verizon and they sent me to india and the people there did not think to check the plan I had and took forever to decide to send to the technical support area. I checked on verizon website and found out that the plan that they set me up a bit ago did not have the hotspot included, it was 15 dollars more a month.

Y'all may want to check this out on your phones.

None of that fixes the issue
