One thing to keep in mind
Tethering drains battery life more than data. It will be an excellent idea if you invest in a portable charger. If you’re ready to tether, here’s how to turn your phone into a wifi hotspot.
To set up a personal hotspot on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Allow Others to Join and toggle it to (if you don’t see Personal Hotspot in Settings, tap Cellular > Personal Hotspot). Write a note of the Wi-Fi password.
To use the wifi hotspot, open the wifi option from settings, choose your IOS device (ex: Timetechy’s iPhone), enter the password you noted earlier, and your smartphone is connected. Now you can surf the web with mobile data.
Your iPad or iPhone can connect via direct USB connection or Bluetooth. First, if you want to connect with Bluetooth, please ensure it is on or not from settings for both devices.
For Family Sharing
To give access to family members, you need to go to settings>personal hotspot> family sharing. You need to name the family and determine whether they will require approval or connects automatically.
