Personal hotspot disappeared in iphone4s!?

Hi, I have an Iphone 4s and the new Ipad mini. I could always set a personal hotspot on my iphone to connect with my ipad, but after the updates to IOS8 this option has disappeared. Apparently, this personal hotspot option is not available any more for iphone4S? Has anybody had the same problem? Is the hotspot hidden somewhere else?
Thank you very much for your help!!

Hello salviathymol,
You should still have Personal Hotspot as an option on your iPhone. If you are not seeing it, take a look in Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot and see if it turned on. If you are not seeing it at all, then take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further.

  • Has anyone else had issues with Verizon Personal Hotspot disappearing?

    My Verizon Personal Hotspot has disappeared for the second time in three weeks.  I talked to Verizon and they claim it is an Apple issue.  Have anyone else had this problem?  If so, how did you fix it?  Thanks!

    Credits from promotions do expire, and no notice is given. It's up to the company delivering the promotion to post the expiration date, which all the ones I have seen did, though sometimes they buried it in the "fine print". Check with the promoting company, or post what promotion issued the credits and perhaps someone here can confirm whether or not the credits have expired.

  • Personal Hotspot disappears from iOS 6

    When I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, my Personal Hotspot showed up at first, then disappeared when I tried to use it. I have rebooted my phone and reinstalled iOS (clean and backup) to no avail several times. AT&T says it's an Apple issue, but Apple closed my ticket opened through AT&T with no solution.

    This is exactly how I fixed it:
    1. I went online to my AT&T wireless account and switched from the 5GB DataPro plan to the 3GB DataPro plan.
    2. I rebooted my phone.
    3. I went back to my AT&T wireless account and re-selected my 5GB plan.
    4. I rebooted my phone again.
    The personal hotspot is now available and I am using it as I type this.
    WARNING: If you have an unlimited data plan, I would call AT&T and have them do something like this for you. You don't want to lose that unlimited plan if you're grandfathered in.
    To the person that suggested this trick, I thank you. And I hope this will help others that are having this problem. AT&T and Apple were absolutely no help in fixing this problem.

  • Personal Hotspot Disappearing

    Hello -
    I have an iPhone 4s, software version 5.0.1 (9A406).  Recently, after no apparent changes, my personal hotspot feature disappeared.  I spent many hours on the phone with AT&T, Apple, and even went to the Apple store.  Everyone was stumped.  The folks at the Apple store had me completely reset my phone, which did not solve the problem.  Finally, my wife came to the rescue and Googled this issue for me.
    Here was the fix:  go to Settings, General, About and change your iPhone's name.  Reset your iPhone by holding in both power and home button until you see the Apple, and when it's done, voila - personal hotspot returns.
    Hopefully, this will save someone else some time.
    Moral of the story, Google it first!

    OK, I see - If tethering is not provisioned by the carrier for particular APN, it is right manner in iOS 5.0.1, that "personal hotspot" option disappears from Seting Menu.
    Thank you for your response, but let me please express my personal opinion - this is not typical manner of iOS - disappearing of options in Setting, in case they are not available (e.g. "Mobile data" slider on iPAD when SIM is removed - Mobile data slider is grayed, which is much better manner). Typical user of "iThings" must be confused, is somethings (commonly used) just disappers... Please send my opinion to Apple responsible person.

  • Personal Hotspot disappeared on my iPad 3 (wifi+cellular) after iOS 6

    Personal hotspot was available and working on my iPad 3 (wifi+cellular). After upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot see anywhere personal hotspot option in the Settings application.
    I also have an iPhone 3GS which is also running iOS 6; personal hotspot can be accessed from Settings app menu and working without any problems.
    I'd appreciate your help to get personal hotspot working on my iPad 3. Thanks in advance.

    Open Settings and tap on “General”
    Tap on “Reset Network Settings”
    Now tap back to Settings and you should see the familiar Personal Hotspot option. Yes, you will lose your wireless network passwords and custom DNS settings by resetting network preferences, so be sure to note any necessary network settings before doing so.
    give your iphone a hard boot by holding the power button and home button. This will insha'Allah resolve the issue.

  • Personal Hotspot disappears from Kenwood DNN991HD. Connects once  then if Kenwood turned off then back on later iPhone shows as out of range until hotspot is switched off then on. Have reset net settings. Kenwood connects automatically to other saved

    If I start my car in the morning the Kenwood unit will connect to my iPhone and the network functions all work. If I shut the car off for a while and restart the network list on the Kenwood shows the iPhone as out of range. I have to cycle the personal hotspot on and off...sometimes a few times before it shows up again available in the network list. It works fine when connecting, disconnecting, reconnecting automatically to my home WiFi Network.
    My iPhone is also connected to the Kenwood with Bluetooth...would this make a difference?
    I have tried resetting network settings but the problem remains.
    Anyone with ideas how I can fix this

    Hello bobbenedetti,

  • With latest update, personal hotspot disappeared from Settings menu

    How do I get the Personal Hotspot back on the Settings menu?

    So this is what I did to rectify the problem. First, do a Network Reset, this resets all network settings to factory, wait for the iPhone to reboot. Then, do a Reset All Settings, you won't lose data or media, but if you have a passcode on, it will be erased, but is easily fixed when it reboots, also note your iPhone's background will be reset to the "Water on Window" background, so you will need to change that as well, but that's about it. Wait for the iPhone to reboot, then go to Settings>General>Network>Personal Hotspot, and turn it on, then immediately connect a computer to it, then afterward disconnect, and it should still show up in the settings on the iPhone, and visible to any computer with WiFi capabilities. I just had this happen to me a few minutes ago, and this fixed it. Try it.

  • Using iphone 4s with IOS6....personal hotspot disappeared.

    Resetting network does not work.  Turning cellular data off/on does not work.  Anyone have any knowledge of how to fix this?

    After receiving NO help from ATT, which said it was Apple's problem, and NO help from Apple, which said it was ATT; the resulting option was to restore.  Besides being a pain in the a$$, it did not work.  I am convinced this is an ATT issue.
