Ever since the the latest OS version for iOS devices was introduced,
which is the iOS 8, turning iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6
plus and iPad devices to hotspot for other devices to connect has
taken a new procedure.
Here on this post, we'd be giving you a step by step guild on how you
can turn your iOS device to hotspot on the latest iOS 8 software
update. The process is really easy except for the fact that it is
quite logical but not to worry, we've got you covered.
We are not going to bore you with lots of talks or stories as we
understand that you are probably trying to do this for the first time
hence, we are just going to go straight to the point. Please note that
it is highly advised that you have an active data connection on your
iPhoneor iPad before commencing with this procedure except you just
want to know how it is done so that you can do it whenever you think
it's necessary.
Turning Your iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, iPad
Devices To Hotspot
*.From the home screen on your iOS device, tap onSettings.
*.On the settings page, tap onCellular.
*.On the cellular page, Tap OnCellular Data Network.
*.On the Cellular Data network page, screen down to the end of the
page where you would findPersonal Hotspot.
*.Under thePersonal hotspot, fill in your username and password.
Filling up an APN isn't a necessity but you can go on with that if you
want to but be sure you are inputting a correct APN. In my opinion, i
would rather advice you do not bother yourself with filling the APN.
*.When done with filling the username and password, go back to the
previous page and you should now be able to find personal hotspot
under cellular data network.
*.Tap on thepersonal hotspotand complete your hotspot set up. I would
advise youchange the Wi-Fi passwordto something you'd be able to
easily remember and at same time, a password that is secure as you
wouldn't want anyone to just gain access to your iOS connection via a
password guess.
*.After changing the Wi-Fi password, you can toggle the Personal
hotspot On so that you can begin sharing your iPhone or iPad internet
connection with other devices that has got wireless feature.
There you go. Very simple right? You can actually share your iPhone or
iPad connection to your computer via the use of USB instead of Wi-Fi
however, you will need to have itunes installed on your computer
before that can really work.
