One of the questions that many users ask us most often is how to share Wi-Fi from our iPhone. This option that comes from the source directly on most devices becomes very simple to perform on iPhones, but logically you have to know where to do it and how to do it, that’s why today in iPhone News we are going to show how to share wifi from iphone.
Obviously this function which comes natively on all iPhones has improved over the years. I remember when the devices of the Cupertino company did not yet allow this function that there was something similar doing the jailbreak on the iPhone.
Internet Sharing on the iPhone is really easy to locate and use. As with all Wi-Fi networks, we use it is important to set an access password for this because otherwise they could directly access our Wi-Fi network created with the iPhone and the data contracted with our operator would be considerably reduced.
The WiFi network access password can be changed whenever you want, it is not necessary to always have the same one and it is done directly by clicking on the “Wi-Fi Password” option on the same iPhone.
Some time ago some operators also limited this function in the devices, this was done so as not to increase the data consumption too much in the tariffs they had or rather that they have unlimited data
Do all iPhones support Wi-Fi sharing?
Currently all or almost all iPhone models allow this function, the only essential requirement is that they be 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 by the device itself, especially due to its age. In all cases most iPhone devices are capable of offering this Wi-Fi connection.
How to Share Wi-Fi from iPhone
Yes, we go directly to the question and see how we can share Wi-Fi from iPhone or even from iPad. The first thing we have to do is go to the configuration in the iPhone Settings. Once we go directly to the settings, we must look for the option personal hotspot in these we find the option allow 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 we shouldn’t be too complicated either because we can always enable and disable Wi-Fi sharing. Once established, we will directly access the Wi-Fi network created by searching for the name of our iPhone and entering the corresponding password.
Obviously we need to have access to our operator in case this is not possible, the best thing is contact the company directly to solve the problem, regardless of the operator.
As simple as that.
Share Internet via Bluetooth
Another option we offer for sharing our Wi-Fi network is done via Bluetooth or USB
When the device is connected iPhone status bar turns blue and it also shows all devices connected to iPhone’s WiFi network. If other devices are connected via Wi-Fi to the iPhone, 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 keep this screen open. Then, on your 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 must do is that once the iPhone is connected via Bluetooth we must enter the code that asks us on the PC or Mac and log in. Depending on the operating system of the PC, the connection may be more or less simple, in any case we recommend connecting via Wi-Fi whenever possible.
Maximize personal hotspot compatibility
It is possible that if what you are trying to connect is a console to a similar device, you may need to enable the option to maximize compatibility. This option can slow down the network connectionIn any case, the key here is that we can connect other devices that would not be allowed without this option enabled.
We have personally encountered this issue directly on Nintendo handhelds. Without this option enabled, there was no way to detect the created WiFi network on the iPhone and therefore impossible to establish the data connection.
How to disconnect connected devices
It is the simplest to achieve since it suffices disable 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 Family Sharing Personal Hotspot
Many users we have in our Some family members have registered an Apple ID. These members can use our network connection whenever we want and have it configured.
In this case, once the first option is configured, these members are saved in the personal access point section, so that by accessing the option that appears in the family, we will find the members who have used our network at an occasion. Here it is important leave the “request approval” option selected, otherwise -in the automatic option- When these members are not connected to the network, they will directly connect to our iPhone without notice to use the WiFi network.
This can also be changed at any time from the family settings. Some users prefer auto connect option to share internet with family members who don’t have a connection or data rate established with the operator.
