iOS is one of the most used operating systems in the world as it is the ‘heart’ of Apple’s iPhones.
iOS receives new updates constantly to fix bugs and add new features. iOS 15.6 is the latest stable update received by compatible iPhones.
However, it seems that the update brought some functional issues to the hotspot feature for some iPhone users.
According to reports, the iPhone hotspot is not working properly as it is disconnecting, not connecting or turning off by itself.
iPhone hotspot not connecting, disconnecting or turning off
Lately there have been multiple reports from iPhone users dealing with problems while trying to use the Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
In some cases, users are unable to connect other devices to the hotspot created from their iPhones.
In other cases, the connected devices automatically disconnect from the iPhone hotspot.

There are also cases where the iPhone hotspot turns off completely by itself while still in use.
My friend can only connect to my Personal Hotspot in order to use internet, when I open the Settings/Personal Hotspot view and leave it open for a few seconds. He is able to connect automatically, though the moment I do not use my phone anymore, he disconnects and I have to reopen the Settings view. Source
When i am connected to my iphone hotspot sometimes my hotspot will just randomly turn off, i have heard that it might be due to the phone thinking that the other device isn’t using the hotspot, so it just turns off.
iOS 15.6 reportedly brought the hotspot problems
Some reports suggest that the iPhone hotspot connection issues started after the arrival of iOS 15.6 update.
Unfortunately, there is still no official acknowledgment of the issue from Apple or workarounds to serve as a temporary fix.
I have an iphone 11 and I regularly use internet sharing from my macbook pro and use that wifi on my phone. Last night I upgraded to iOS 15.6 and I am no longer able to connect my phone to my macbook’s internet sharing Source
