iOS has had an issue for years now, where if you lock the screen of the iPhone that using the personal hotspot, it will automatically disconnect for some stupid reason. Android doesn’t have this problem. I think the reasoning is, because iOS and android used to different hotspots. Say I use my sisters, android devices are hotspot, and that never happens when I lock my device. Can Apple use the same Wi-Fi hotspot very because this is really annoying
I understand your issue and I face it on daily basis. Whenever a device is connected to an iPhone’s hotspot and then locks, the hotspot automatically disconnects. Idk if other people here didn’t really understand that, in which for example hotspot with laptops won’t disconnect cuz the laptop won’t be locked. They might really have not faced it yet.
However, as this issue is common per my experience and people I know, a quick solution is to pair the hotspot iPhone via Bluetooth with the receiver device, and it won’t disconnect even when locked.
