Issue with personal hotspot on iOS,

iOS and iPadOS

This is happening Samantha members who use hotspot, so I can use their hotspot, this also happens whilst I’m using my support workers hotspots. Sometimes, I will either have my phone locked on hotspot, randomly, disconnect automatically, without any reason at all. Regardless of devices are connected or disconnected. This is annoying and I see no way to stop this on iOS. This doesn’t happen on android, can somebody help me see if there’s any way to solve this non-problem. This is been happening for a few years now

Once connected I have no issue. Maybe if you have a secondary device have someone help you fill out a bug report. After all you don't want it filled with errors.

If you do not need to physically hold your device that is running the Hotspot, you can do the following:
1. Enable the Hotspot.
2. Plug in the device.
3. Turn the Screen timeout to "never" (under Display settings).
4. Enable Screen Curtain (triple tap the screen with 3 fingers).
5. Pu the device down somewhere an walk away.

As stated above, this is a long standing issue with iOS.

HTH. 🤷🏻‍♂️

How are Apple does not have the honesty to fix this issue is outrageous. It is absolutely disgraceful Apple hasn’t fix this. Also, the people who are use personal hotspot with Aj all sorted most of the time so screen curtain isn’t an option.
