One of the questions that many users ask us most is how to share Wi-Fi from our iPhone. This option, which comes directly from the majority of devices, becomes very simple to carry out on iPhones, but logically we have to know where to do it and how to do it, which is why today Actualidad iPhone let's show how to share Wi-Fi from iPhone.
Obviously this function that comes natively on all iPhones has been improving over the years. I remember when devices from the Cupertino firm did not yet allow this function that there was something similar doing the jailbreak on the iPhone.
Internet sharing on the iPhone is really easy to locate and operate. As with all Wi-Fi networks, we use it is important to place an access password for this since otherwise they could directly access our Wi-Fi network created with the iPhone and the data contracted with our operator would be considerably reduced.
The WiFi network access password can be changed whenever we want, it is not necessary to always have the same one and this is done directly by clicking on the “Wi-Fi Password” option on the same iPhone.
Some time ago some operators also limited this function in the devices, this was done so as not to raising data consumption too much in the rates that they had or rather that they have unlimited data. What is clear is that today it can be done in a simple way with almost all operators and with all mobile devices.
Do all iPhones allow Wi-Fi sharing?
Today all or almost all iPhone models allow this function, the only requirement that is essential is that they are updated to the latest version available. In some cases, iPhone devices with the iOS 12 operating system could be the last to offer this version.
The restrictions are placed directly by the device itself, especially due to their age. In any case most iPhone devices are capable of offering this Wi-Fi connection.
How to share WiFi from iPhone
Yes, we go directly to the matter and see how we can share Wi-Fi from the iPhone or even from the iPad. The first thing we have to do is go to configuration in the IPhone Settings. Once we access the settings directly we have to look for the option personal hotspot within these we find the option allow others to connect.
Just below we find the Wi-Fi password option that we have to fill in for the occasion. Here we can be as creative as we want but we don't have to get too complicated either since we can always turn Wi-Fi sharing on and off. Once established, we will directly access the Wi-Fi network created by searching for the name of our iPhone and entering the corresponding password.
Obviously we have to have access from our operator in case it is not possible the best thing is contact the company directly to solve the problem, whatever the operator is.
As simple as that.
Share Internet via Bluetooth
Another option we have available for sharing our Wi-Fi network is via Bluetooth or USB. In this case, even with the screen locked, the data network can be shared and notifications and messages will continue to be received. In this case, it is necessary to have iOS 13 installed on the iPhone or iPad that we want to use.
When the device is connected status bar on iPhone turns blue and it also shows all the devices that are connected to the iPhone's WiFi network. If other devices connected via Wi-Fi to iPhone, you can only use our carrier rate data to connect to the Internet from the primary device.
Bluetooth
To make sure your iPhone or iPad is discoverable, go to Settings > Bluetooth and keep that screen open. Then, on your Mac or PC, follow the manufacturer's instructions to set up a network connection using Bluetooth. This depends on the different OS available, in the case of being a Mac it is much easier than from a PC.
What we have to do is that once the iPhone is linked via Bluetooth we have to enter the code that asks us on the PC or Mac and connect. Depending on the operating system of the PC, the connection can be more or less simple, in any case we recommend the connection via Wi-Fi whenever possible.
Maximize personal hotspot compatibility
It is possible that if what you are trying to connect is a console to a similar device, you may have to activate the option to maximize compatibility. This option can slow down the connection to the networkIn any case, the key here is that we can connect other devices that would not be allowed without this option activated.
We have personally encountered this problem directly on Nintendo handheld consoles. Without this option activated there was no way to detect the WiFi network created on the iPhone and therefore impossible to make the data connection.
How do I disconnect connected devices
This is the simplest to carry out since simply turning off the option to allow others to connect, the Wi-Fi network will be completely disabled. Now the personal hotspot is disabled and no one will be able to use our data network.
Connecting to the Family Sharing Personal Hotspot
Many users we have in our Some family members registered Apple ID. These members can use our network connection whenever we want and have it configured.
In this case, once the first option has been configured, these members are registered in the personal access point section, so that by accessing the option that appears in family we will find the members who have used our network on some occasion. Here it is important leave the "request approval" option selected, since otherwise -in the automatic option- When these members are not connected to the network, they will connect directly without notice to our iPhone to use the WiFI network.
This can also be edited whenever we want from the family settings. Some users prefer the automatic connection option to share the Internet with family members who do not have connection or data rate established with the operator.
