Personal Hotspot Not Working On iPhone? Here's The Fix!

  • Two Apple experts explain what to do when Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone.
    First, make sure that your cell phone plan includes mobile hotspot. Carriers have the ability to turn off Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, in which case it may not show up in the Settings app. If Personal Hotspot is grayed out on your iPhone, Airplane mode is probably turned on.
    Next, check for a carrier settings update and an iOS update. Apple and your wireless carrier regularly release these updates to fix software problems on your iPhone.
    To rule out a problem with the Cellular settings on your iPhone, Reset Network Settings.
    If mobile hotspot still is not working on your iPhone, put it in DFU mode and restore. This will completely rule out the possibility of a software problem.
    How To Put Your iPhone In DFU mode: www.payetteforward.com/how-to...
    It’s time to contact your wireless carrier or Apple if you still can’t use iPhone Personal Hotspot.

    I've been looking everywhere to fix this. My new second-hand iPhone 7 wouldn't allow anything to connect to the hotspot even though I was using the same sim card from my last phone. The second-last method (resetting network settings) actually worked thank you so much this is amazing. I thought I tried everything but this came in clutch

    Thanks very much.

    Great video! Fixed the problem on my phone!! For me, though, I had to do a hard reset after I reset network settings. Maybe just a simple turn off / turn on would have worked too. Anyway, after I did the hard reset, “personal hotspot” was on my phone. Thanks.

No amount of network resets actually resets the prompts.. My iphone appears in wi fi list of my switch or other device and i put the password in spot on.. I even changed it to "testing123" just to prove it wasn't working, and it always says can not connect to network. It does work with the macbook via bluetooth or USB though.. I have searched the web for hours and nothing tells me how to fix my issue, nor this video.
