Hotspot option disappeared in iOS 8

I have an iPad mini (1 gen). Recently I have noticed that hotspot option is missing. I tried to find a solution on the Internet, but everywhere it is said that I should change APN for personal hotspot. Here is a problem - I don't even have such a field! I have only regular apn settings field. Don't know what to do. On iOS 7 it was working.

JRHarvey, have you checked the basics:
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.

  • When I access Visual Voicemail, my Personal Hotspot option disappears from settings.

    Why does my Personal Hotspot option disappear when I access Visual Voicemail?  I need to reset network settings to get it back and then Visual Voicemail no longer works.
    Also, does anyone know how I could disable Visual Voicemail and set the phone app's voicemail button to dial 901 instead? (as a workaround)

    The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
    Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
    I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
    I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
    Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

  • "Personal Hotspot" option DISAPPEARED yesterday after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3!

    Hello,
    yesterday I upgraded my iPad Mini (Retina) to iOS 8.1.3. Everything works pretty fine, but there is no Personal Hotspot in the Settings! I was looking in all sections, but it has simply disappeared.
    I really don't know what to do. I've been using my iPad as a hotspot for a year, almost every day. :/
    I have reset all web settings and, of course, turned off and on the iPad. Nothing's changed.

    " ... other things will show up with that name ..."
    Well, the one thing I can think of is that your iPhone will show up with "that name" on iTunes' summary tab when you sync it.  Also, if you receive any warning messages from iTunes on your computer, the messages will have that name.

  • There is personal hotspot option on my iOS 6.1.2

    There is no personal hotspot on my iOS 6.1.2

    Option will be available if
    Your mobile carrier supports tethering/personal hotspot.
    Also, your data plan with your carrier should include a tethering option.

    I Had the same challenge and all I did was switch off my iPad. Remove the SIM card from the tray. Switch the iPad back on again, reinsert the SIM card and bingo! The hotspot showed up again.

  • I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings

    I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings.
    Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

    No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

  • Personal hotspot option not showing in IOS 8.1.2

    I was using personal Hotspot on cellular data "Mobilink" on my 4s , i recently updated to IOS 8.12 and since then this option is gone . Please help

    Hi Anas
    i am having the same issue on my iphone 6 with personal hotspot option missing with mobilink carrier in Lahore.
    This came after i installed a profile of mobilink ( network settings )
    which doesnt go away even if i try to reset the network settings.
    i cant go and delete the profiles manually.
    i have contacted mobilink network support and they have no idea what i am talking about ( even discussed it with their resolution center ) but they just gave me apples where i wanted oranges
    they said they have not disabled it neither they are charging for this option
    once i put the sim in android phone.( i can make a personal hotspot option)..
    Question is why not iphone.
    Perhaps mobilink doesnt support iphone officially thats why.
    This came after ( Mobilink offer of 3 dollars = 15 Gb ) of 3g traffic.
    when i put in the sim of zong network ( 3g and 4g ) hotspot works fine on iphone
    Apple guys ( how can i delete network profile )?
    such as a software using windows or on mac .
    I cant do it through iphone's network cellular settings the carrier settings just wont go away.
    neither
    Apple configurator seem to detect configuration profiles on ios 8 .( and officially i believe the configurator has been taken offline.)
    i don't want to factory reset my phone as it has alot of data and other things so i didnt try this option

  • Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

    Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
    My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
    What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
    So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
    the hosts to edit that info in your post.

  • Instant hotspot and continuity in iOS 8

    Hi everyone, I hope somebody can enlighten on the following:
    The day iOS 8 was launched, I installed it both on my iPhone 5 and iPad Air.
    I tested a few features, among them instant hotspot that worked remarkably well. I could see my phone's name in the iPad's wifi screen, just tap on it that it would turn hotspot on in the iPhone, lock the ipad and it would turn it off, flawless.
    Handoffs worked equally well, and I noticed that both devices (the iPhone and the iPad) had a bluetooth pair to each other, that could not be removed. In fact, since I had paired my devices before upgrading, I had two pairs, one could be removed, the other could not. I also noticed that as soon as I open the messages app or the email app on either device a bluetooth connection would be established automatically and the app icon would show on the other device lock screen.
    So far so good but, I got an iPhone 6, and got rid of my iPhone 5. The iPhone 6 was by default named Ricardo's iPhone, like my old device. Two weird things happened.
    1) I had two bluetooth devices named Ricardo's iPhone on my iPad, neither of them could be forgotten.
    2) The instant hotspot feature stopped working.
    I figured out that the iPad was seeing my old device, so I changed the name of my new iPhone to Ricardo's iPhone 6, just to distinguish them. Here is what happened.
    1) I still have two iphones as paired bluetooth devices, but named Ricardo's iPhone and Ricardo's iPhone 6, not too big of a deal but annoying nonetheless.
    2) More serious, my iPad still sees my old iPhone (e.g. Ricardo's iPhone) for instant hotspot, and does not see the new one (Ricardo's iPhone 6).
    3) I can see my iPhone 6 the old way, if I turn hotspot on, I can see Ricardo's iPhone in the list of wifi network and I can connect to it, I tried that and enter the password hoping the iPad would recognize it, but not, still sees the old one.
    I tried rebooting both devices, resetting network settings but no luck. I am thinking that I probably need to restore the iPad to fix this problem but it would be indeed annoying if every time you have a new device this happens.
    For now, I am waiting for iOS 8.0.2 (after it has been PROPERLY tested) hoping that I least the installation will fix this, but Apple needs to fix this.

    No its not their, I can see cellular options but hotspot option is missing. Attached are the screenshots.
