Requirements to be able to use the iPhone Instant Hotspot feature from iPad are fairly simple; you must have the Wi-fi Personal Hotspot feature available on your iPhone, the same Apple ID in use on both the iPad and iPhone, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi must be turned on for both devices as well.

  1. Open the “Settings” app on the iPad
  2. Go to “Wi-Fi” section of Settings
  3. Look under the “Personal Hotspots” section for the name of the iPhone wireless hotspot and tap on that to connect to and start the iPhone Hotspot


4. Authenticate and login to the wi-fi hotspot as usual
The iPad will use the iPhone Personal Hotspot for as long as the iPhone wi-fi hotspot is either available or for as long as the iPad stays connected to the wi-fi signal.

As always, be mindful that wi-fi personal hotspot can consume a lot of cellular data, so be aware of any data caps or bandwidth limits you may have on your individual cellular phone mobile data plan.

If you don’t have this Instant Hotspot feature available from the iPad, it’s likely because one of the requirements is not being met, or simply that your iPhone does not have the wi-fi Personal Hotspot capability enabled or available. iPhone Personal Hotspot is optional on many cellular carriers, and some plans require an additional fee to be able to use the iPhones cellular connection as a wi-fi hotspot for other devices.
