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!

I'm having the same issue with a surface. Won't connect to iphone that has been updated to ios 15, but will connect to iphone that is still running ios 14.8. I've tested multiple phones with the same result. pre ios 15 works and ios 15 does not. I've tried all the standard trouble shooting I've seen posted with no luck. If anyone has a fix, I would love to hear it.

Hello! I upgraded my Iphone 8 to iOS 15. After the update, the following programs work on a HOTSPOT connection on a PC: Steam, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect. Has anyone experienced anything like this? What could be the solution?

Thanks to: Péter Mátyás

IOS 15 re frissítés után ugyan van Hot-spot lehetőségem. a Gépem is látja az Internetet és még az oldalak is betöltenek viszont. Nem lehet internetes játékokhoz csatlakozni vagy Torrenteket letölteni mert azt írják a programok nincs internet (csatlakozási hiba). szabályoz az IOS 15?

Exactly the same problem - downloaded ios15 on release day and ever since my Samsung Smart TV cannot connect to my personal hotspot, whereas it worked extremely well before. Any updates on this?

Same problem on my iPhone 12 Pro. Updated to iOS 15. I reset the network settings and it popped up for like 2 seconds then went away. I have to use my old iPhone 11 with the old 14.7 iOS to connect to non Apple products

When I updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iOS 15, my android device wouldn’t stay connected to hotspot. I went under Personal Hotspot settings and turned on “Maximize Compatibility” and it seems to be working fine again. Hope that works for you too.

Same problem here with the IOS 15, cant connect to hotspot now, WTF!! is there a fix for this yet? if not why was this rolled out for download when it is broken.. This is ridiculous and might swing me to the android side if there isnt a fix soon... Not happy at all..
