One of the questions we often ask many users is how to set up personal hotspot on iPhone. This option that comes directly from the origin in most devices becomes very simple to perform on the iPhone, but logically we must know where to do it and how to do it, so today in Actualidad iPhone we will show how to share Wi- Fi from iPhone.
Obviously, this feature that comes natively on all iPhones has improved over the years. We remember when the devices of the Cupertino company did not yet allow this functionality that there was something similar when jailbreaking the iPhone.
The WiFi network access password can be changed at any time, it is not necessary to always have the same one and this is done directly by clicking on the “Wi-Fi password” option on the ‘iPhone itself.
Some time ago some operators also limited this functionality on devices, this was done so as not to increase data consumption too much in tariffs that had or rather had unlimited data. What is clear is that today it can be done in a simple way with almost all operators and with all mobile devices.
Currently, all or almost all iPhone models allow this function, the only requirement is that they are updated to the latest version available. In some cases, iPhone devices running the iOS 12 operating system might be the last to feature this version.
The restrictions are placed directly on the device itself, mainly due to the age of the device. In any case, most iPhone devices are able to offer this Wi-Fi connection.
Personal Hotspot on iPhone
Yes, we go straight to the case, and see how we can share Wi-Fi from the iPhone or even from the iPad. The first thing we have to do is access the settings in the iPhone settings. Once we go directly to the settings we have to look for the personal hotspot option in these we find the option allows others to connect.
Just below we find the Wi-Fi password option that we must fill in for the occasion. Here we can be as creative as we want, but it is not necessary to be too complicated because we can always activate and deactivate the Wi-Fi sharing option. Once established, we will directly access the Wi-Fi network -Fi created by searching for the name of our iPhone and placing the corresponding password.
Obviously we must have access from our operator in case of impossibility, it is better to contact the company directly to solve the problem, regardless of the operator.
It’s that simple.
Share Internet via Bluetooth
Another option we have for sharing our Wi-Fi network is through Bluetooth or USB. In this case, even with the screen locked, you can share the data network and continue to receive notifications and messages. In this case it is necessary to have iOS 13 installed on the iPhone or iPad that we want to use.
When the device is connected, the iPhone’s status bar turns blue and also displays all devices connected to the iPhone’s WiFi network. If other devices are connected to the iPhone via Wi-Fi, you can only use our carrier rate data to connect to the Internet from the primary device.
Bluetooth
To make sure your iPhone or iPad is discoverable, go to Settings > Bluetooth and leave this screen open. Then, on Mac or PC, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set up a network connection via Bluetooth. It depends on the different operating systems available, in the case of a Mac it is much easier than from a PC.
What we have to do is that once linked to the iPhone via Bluetooth, we must enter the code that asks us on the PC or Mac and connect. Depending on the operating system of the PC, the connection may be more or less simple, in any case, we recommend that you connect via Wi-Fi whenever possible.
Maximize Personal Hotspot Compatibility
It’s possible that if what you’re trying to connect is a console to a similar device, you’ll need to enable the option to maximize compatibility. This option can slow down the network connection, however, the key here is that we will be able to connect other devices that without this option activated we would not be allowed to connect.
How do I disconnect connected devices?
This is the easiest thing to do because by simply disabling the option to allow others to connect, the Wi-Fi network will be completely disabled. Now the personal hotspot is disabled and no one will be able to use our data network.
Connecting to the “Family Sharing” personal hotspot
Many of us have family members registered in our Apple ID. These members can use our network connection for as long as we want and have it set up.
Also in this case, once the first option is configured, these members are saved in the personal hotspot section. Thus, by accessing the option that appears in the family, we will find the members who have used our network on occasion. Here it is important to leave the “request approval” option selected, because otherwise in the automatic option when these members do not have a connection to the network, they will connect directly without warning to our iPhone to use the network Wireless.
This can also be changed at any time from the family settings. Some users prefer the auto-connect option to share the internet with family members who don’t have an established connection or data rate with the carrier.
