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

    iOS 16.7.2 here and unless my hotspot is actively in use at all times, it will disconnect any and all devices connected to it after approx 5-10 minutes of standby. Irks me to no end. Activate a family member’s Android hotspot and it’ll stay on until we deactivate it.

    Also struggle to get any of my ereaders to connect to my hotspot, even when “maximize…” is on. What a hot mess Apple, do better!
