#askatp pre-current phone, my Personal Hotspot was bad, I just used cable. I set up the new iPhone as-new, without migrating, and connecting is much more reliable and faster now. However, the hotspot often stays on when I put my MacBook Pro in my backpack - sooner or later, I notice the green link icon in the Dynamic Island. Has this happened to you? BTW, I tried a few combinations of the checkboxes in Wi-Fi Settings as advised in support apple com / 109321, but the hotspot never auto-joins.
