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

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.

HT201926 Personal Hotspot is not showing

I have an ipad mini and the personal hotspot is not showing

Hello Maitham-Qatar,
If you are not seeing Personal Hotspot then take a look at the article below and start at step 7. Start with resetting the network settings on your iPad and if that does not work then you will need to restore it. Let me know if this works for you.

Has anyone else lost their personal hotspot option after updating to iOS 6.1?

I updated to the new iOS last night, and when I went to use my AT&T personal hotspot today, I noticed that it's missing from my settings menu. Any tips on how to get it back? I called AT&T and they told me that everything is fine on their end and therefore it must be an Apple issue. :-(
-Alison

See if this helps you get them back and lets you add them again.
Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Personal hotspot option

Hi All
please help me to add personal hotspot option in my iphone ios 5.0.1 as i would like to use my iphone as modem.

Your carrier has to offer the hotspot option in your data plan for it to appear in the phone settings. Also, if your carrier is not an official iPhone carrier, it may not appear.

IPAD2 ATT Personal Hotspot/Tethering not offered

I just spent three days with ATT pointing out to them that their website stated a Personal Hotspot would be available for the IPAD 2 with the release of 4.3. I directed them to the page that quoted it. It was a press release dated March 10. It shows the prices for Tethering. They are pointing fingers to Apple. I don't believe them! If you want the link I will email it to you. This post won't allow me to cut and paste the link to ATT's Website.
The day before I purchased IPAD2- I also called ATT and Apple to confirm Tethering would be available. Now ATT is denying that it never was in the plans. Apple Care folks are hand tied.They don't quite understand ATT's decision. There are many reasons ATT doesn't want to allow this. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan on my Iphone 4- If I purchase the tethering for my Iphone 4 - I have to forfeit my unlimited plan- GET THE PICTURE!. The Ipad is capable of tethering. I bought the IPAD2 -3G version for this purpose. Extra 130 dollars out the door.
If you had the same in mind- Let ATT know your frustrations. Thanks for listening

Thank you for your response. Verizon offers tethering/ Hotspot on some of their tablets. I personally demonstrated this before I bought my IPAD2. I understand what IOS4.3 offers on the IPHONE4. The IPAD2 is capable of the same. Apple even admitted it to me via phone conversations. They only sympathized with me after an hour of phone patches between ATT and Apple.
I don't want to tether my I phone. I want to keep it available for other purposes and don't want to destroy my "Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan". I do want to tether to my laptop. I don't really have an argument- I may have been mislead by what ATT stated. Let me copy this from their Web site. There is no assumption that one already owns an IPhone 4 or is it relevant.

Let me know if this changes your mind? Thank you!

IPhone 5 - Personal Hotspot setting not on my phone.

I have a iPhone 5 iOS 6.01 on Tesco pay monthly.
I have never had the personal hotspot option anywhere on the phone, not in general settings, the bit at the top or Internet tethering in the cellular options.
I have looked at lots of forums and tried resetting the network settings about 8 times. I don't use the app "Onvao" app thingy. Im just suprised that it's not in any of the settings.
Here are some photos of how its not there.
I am lost to why this has happened and am wondering if there are any steps I can take to rectify this?
Thanks, MrVisneski.

No - if the carrier doesn't support it, the UI deletes the option entirely from the phone which is why it won't show up for you.
I have a '3' SIM and an O2 one and if I put in the O2 SIM the option completely disappears just like yours is showing, so your phone is behaving as expected.

Personal hotspot option is missing

Hellow,
It seem that there are no Personal hotspot option under settings or under general-->settings-->Network, I already tried to reset network settings with no luck.
I have iPhone 4s with iOS 5.0.1.
I Just got the devise 10 days ago I never used this option before and i am no sure it existed.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have the same problem as omarfromamman.
I too have a 4s (5.0.1 Build 9A406) and I too do not have this personal hotspot tab as well as the tab to configure the cellular data network.
I have reset network settings several times already but it still does not appear. my iphone 4s is from singapore (Model # MD245ZA).
My carrier supports this because I used to use this feature on my iphone 4 (also on fw 5.0.1). What else can I do for this to appear? I have done the following already:
1) reset network settings (under build 405)
2) restored under 5.0.1 under build 405
3) restored to build 406
4) rest network settings under build 406
Hope you can help me. Thank you

Personal hotspot option missing!

Hi,
I have 2 serious issues with my iPhone 4S now. After updating the os to iOS 6.1.3,
1. I discovered I can't enable the wifi option.
2. My personal hotspot option is missing!
What gives???
HELP!
Mervin

Mervin,
I searched the forums for this issue, because I had the same problem. I was a little worried about no longer having access to my hotspot after the upgrade to 6.1.3. Like you, the option for the hotspot was completely missing (not just greyed out) after the update. I am also using an iPhone 4S.
The good news is that I found the way to fix it, at least for me. I hope it works for you.
Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot. Just turn it on. That should make the "Hotspot" option on the main settings page reappear for you.
I hope that helps.
Jason

Imessage, facetime n personal hotspot is not working on my iphone 4

my imessage, facetime n personal hotspot is not working in my iphone4 thou my system is updated till ios 7.0.4

Depending on the country where you live, some features like FaceTime might not be available for your phone.
Others, like Hotspot, will have to be included into your data plan to be working. Contact your carrier about that.
