iOS 15 beta causing problems with personal hotspot

I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 15 beta and I think it is causing problems with my personal hotspot.

I live in a rural area with almost no options for decent, home WiFi; my options are DSL and satelite. For the last 8-9 months, I've used my iPhone's hotspot for gaming, streaming, and pretty much everything else. I've had no issues and it has saved me a ton of money!

However, the day I updated my phone to iOS 15 beta, any non-Apple device I connect my hotspot to will not load anything... For example, my PlayStation 5 is able to download software updates and game updates with pretty quick speeds when connected to my hotspot, but it will not allow me to play any games online or pull up any streaming services. It says the connection is too weak. The same thing applies to my Roku that's plugged into my TV in the bedroom. Both of these worked really well before updating.

When I connect my iPad to my hotspot, everything loads incredibly fast.

I've contacted my phone service provider and they've assured me that my cell service is not the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anyway to fix it?

Thank you!

HERE YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR HOTSPOT PROBLEM OCCURING IN IPHONE 13 PRO MAX.

I have the same issue for about 4 months now. I called apple support and had a 2 hour call where we tried everything. All the basic youtube solutions, all the reset network settings stuff, everything. Nothing worked.

At one point they connected me to an IT manager, they pretended they never heard of this issue, and of course, blamed windows. Luckily I already had the same call with windows support, and we tried with them everything too, every network setup is perfect, everything is updated to the latest.

After I told this to apple IT guy, they finally took me seriously (after 1 hour or so fighting and telling them, it's not my laptop it's their shit).

We just had a new update yesterday, and it is still not solved...unbelievable.

To me it seems 15.2 update finally solved the problem, i just tested it a few minutes ago, and finally steam and netflix is working as it should be while using my iphone with lightning cable connected to my PC…4months for christ sake

I’m on 15.1.1 and now it works !!! 5 months. Apple you suck !!!

I am having the exact same issue and also live in a rural area where high-speed internet from major carriers is unavailable. Thus, I rely heavily on my hotspot. I can’t even revert to iOS 14 because I just received a “new” iPhone X from Apple (my previous one was defective) which came pre-installed with iOS 15. My Roku TV worked beautifully when connected to my hotspot on iOS 14. It now technically connects, but nothing will load on my Roku TV once connected. This is an incredibly frustrating issue.

@gibutalk, can you elaborate on how this helps? The "private IP address" setting is in the WiFi section of the settings, not in the Hotspot section. Also, it's specific to a WiFi connection that you are connecting to with the iPhone itself. It should have nothing to do with the hotspot hosted on the iPhone, that other devices are connecting to. For example, I'm connecting from an old Android phone to an iPhone hotspot.

To the last poster. Issue is resolved. Just UPDATE your iPhone to the latest OS version in GENERAL SETTINGS

I’ve spent half the day google to try find solutions, resetting networks trying to find IP DNS ROUTER CODES ETC

So glad I came across this forum. Happy, but obviously not happy, others are ****** at Apple too. I’ve got an ancient ipad that work was throwing out and still does did the zoom job 6 years later. I hotspotted my online classes all through the lockdowns in Melbourne over last two years. All I can say is thank goodness I didn’t update way back then. I would have suffered terribly not having screen to outside world. Maybe we should tackle Apple with “it’s an mental health issue and affordability issue” Not many of us can afford to buy brand new anything and tbh I think we should be using electronics until they are on their last legs - such a waste. Also surprised an eco tech warrior hasn’t made app or hack to fix this or is that illegal? Or am I really bad at finding this info?? anyone started a petition yet?

Update 15.3.1 and my hotspot still not working. Went to Apple service today and they were so surprised about the situation, they wanted me to leave my phone for 2 weeks for a freaking issue with hotspot? This is so insane and I’m fuming! Apple do something!!!!

nnnn

I'm having exactly the same problems with Rel 15.4.1. My devices that won’t connect anymore are TiVo Romaio (I have to use my sister’s old iPhone to connect for the latest guide info) and my TiVo Stream 4K. So far all the apps on the TiVo Stream 4K are connecting except Netflix and YouTube. I can Chromecast for YouTube from my iPad but not for Netflix. When I called Apple, they just suggested doing a network reset through Settings/General but that didn’t help. I never called back.

Updated my iPhone XR to iOS 15.5 and there’s no way I can get my old iPad 4 connected to the hotspot. I tried everything. I thought this problem was fixed.
