The Personal Hotspot feature turns our iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot that can share its Internet connection with other nearby devices.
In general, the personal hotspot can be used when it is turned on, but some users find that the personal hotspot of the iPhone disappears after upgrading the system or jailbreaking.
What should I do if the Personal Hotspot on iPhone is lost? How to fix missing Personal Hotspot on iPhone? If your iPhone personal hotspot is lost, you can try the following solutions in order:
One: Turn cellular data on and off
Personal Hotspot requires a connection to a cellular data network, such as 4G. Resetting the cellular data connection may restore the lost hotspot.
Two: Check the personal hotspot settings
Sometimes, when Personal Hotspot is missing from the Settings app, it's still present elsewhere.
Open the Settings app and select Cellular > Personal Hotspot, move the Personal Hotspot switch to On (green), and return to the main settings screen. If you see Personal Hotspot listed under Cellular, the issue is resolved.
Three: Restart iPhone
Restarting your iPhone is a simple troubleshooting trick that isn't guaranteed to work, but it's easy to perform.
Four: Update operator settings
While this doesn't happen as often as Apple releases new versions of iOS, carriers also release new versions of settings from time to time, and updating to the latest settings can also cause loss of Personal Hotspot.
Five: Delete the APN certificate
Having any Access Point Name (APN) certificates installed to enable your phone to work with certain phone companies (especially those outside the US) may cause Personal Hotspot not to appear. In this case, go to "Settings" > "General" to delete the configuration file. If you don't see "Profile" listed under Settings, then there's nothing to delete and it's not an APN certificate issue.
Six: Reset network settings
Loss of Personal Hotspot can be caused by a problem with the settings that control your phone's access to cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Going to Settings > General > Transfer or Restore iPhone > Restore > Reset Network Settings may help resolve the issue.
After the reset is complete, you may need to re-enter your Wi-Fi network password or pair your Bluetooth device.
