If you have an iPhone or iPad with cellular connectivity, you can share the Internet connection with any of your other Apple devices without having to jump through the hoops. It's a little-known feature, and we'll blow you away.
1; just like tethering in the old days. That's handy, but not as good as the feature we're talking about today: Instant Hotspot. Instant Hotspot allows you to connect to your iPhone or mobile phone, just like any other Wi-Fi connection, and you do not even need to enable Personal Hotspot.
Your iPhone or iPad must be enabled and connected to a wireless plan that supports tethering. Most do, but if you have problems, this could be the culprit. You may also need to pay this as a separate service, depending on your network operator and plan.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi must be enabled for each affected device.
All devices must be signed in to iCloud with the same device Apple ID.
Suppose everything is as it should be, you can start. You do not need configuration, and contrary to popular belief, you do not even need to enable a personal hotspot on your iPhone or mobile iPad to use this feature. Both devices only have to meet the requirements described above and be close enough to communicate with each other.
Before we begin, make sure that Bluetooth and Fi is enabled on both devices – this is the part that balances most of the people brings, and it is worthwhile to check this.
When this is done, open the Settings app and tap the "W-Fi" option. Then tap the name of the device you want to connect to. In the case of our screenshot we connect to "Olivers iPhone".
When you tap the iPhone or iPad, a connection is established and your iPad has wireless, instant Internet access.
Even when connecting a Mac to an iPhone or a mobile iPad, the Personal Hotspot does not need to be activated. To connect, click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar and then click the name of the device whose Internet connection you want to share. We use "Olivers iPhone" in our screenshot.
When you tap the iPhone or iPad, a connection is made and your iPad is easy to use.
