iOS Hotspot: Explained

Explaining how the hotspot works on iOS (17.3.1). It's more complicated than I thought.

Its really annoying when it turns off immediately

Thanks so much for pointing out this issue!!! Had this issue for several years and took an Android just for this purpose. I can literally select there : „Hotspot never turns off“. When my Android has battery it will show the „hotspot“ as a normal WiFi, no matter if a device is connected or not all the time even after days !!! Hope Apple can give us an update here.

For Family devices you can enable devices from them to join automatically. Found that useful for people that needed "constant" hotspot.

Why we cannot turn off wifi and Bluetooth permanently from control center?? iOS is annoying, can not turn on wifi and hotspot simultaneously, either wifi can be on or Hotspot ( again iOS is annoying and far behind android in term of features )
