In the upcoming software updates, there is now a persistent personal hotspot, allowing devices to remain connected even when they are asleep. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. The operation remains the same, however.Īpple occasionally offers updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas. The changes will make it easier for Wi-Fi only devices to connect to the shared data connection. Changes coming to iOS 13/iPadOS 13Īpple has announced big changes are coming to Instant Hotspot for iPhone and iPad in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, respectively. Note: If your device doesn't meet the requirements, or you want to connect to or with someone else's device, you can still use the regular personal hotspot feature by entering in the password. Under Personal Hotspot, tap on the name of your iPhone. Make sure both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled in Control Center.
