Where is the personal hotspot after iOS 6 update?

I've been using my PERSONAL HOTSPOT in my iPhone 4S since the day I got it. Now, after the update to iOS 6, I can't seem to find it in my phone settings. Please help.

FOUND IT!
Had the same problem over the weekend (Iphone 4 updated to iOS6)
Settings>General>Cellular> Scroll down, it's below "Data Roaming" on my phone
Cheers!

Trouble with Personal Hotspot after iOS 6 upgrade

I have the "new" iPad (3rd gen) with LTE on Verizon, 32GB White. I purchased it about 2 weeks after
It has worked flawlessly as a personal hotspot from the day I bought it, until upgrading to iOS 6.
After the iOS 6 upgrade, I can connect without an issue the first time I use persona hotspot (either of my 2 laptops or my iphone). If I turn Personal Hotspot off or let it time out, my devices will take a long time, but seemingly connect to the hotspot and pull an IP address (170.20.10.x). The problem is that I cannot connect to the internet. My work laptop (Windows 7) will report limited connectivity, my macbook will report that it can't connect to the internet and my iphone will fall back to the cellular connection (3G EVDO) for internet.
If I restart the iPad (by holding home and power buttons), I can use the hotspot ONCE normally and all devices can connect to the internet. The process repeats and if I turn it off or it times out, I have to restart again to use the hotspot.
I have "reset network settings" on the iPad but this had no impact, and the problem persists.
What else can I do to restore the personal hotspot functionality?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I had the same problem with my iPhone - personal hotspot worked just once and then restart was needed. Today I tried to soft reset my iPhone and it seems it helped. Before reset, I was able to reproduce this error everytime I tried. Now personal hotspot works for whole day without problems. I hope the issue won't come back.
Soft reset can be performed by simultaneous holding home and power button. It should not cause loss of any data or settings.

Where is the Personal Hotspot option on iPad 3rd generation

Dear all,
I have an iPad 3rd generation 64GB (Wifi+Cellular). It seems that the Personal Hotspot option is not existed!!
Note: My iPhone 4S is on the same cellular data plan (unlimited) with the same carrier provider and I am able to use & share the Personal Hotspot on it.
Thank you

Are you saying that the carrier could support the it on iPhones but not the iPad? Anyway I will have to check with the carrier if this is the case :S. thnx Diavonex for the quick respond.
Correct. Carriers sometimes support personal hotspot on the phone but not on the iPad. I think AT&T does this.

How to fix Missing Personal Hotspot after ios 5.1.1. upgrade

After upgrading the IOS 5.1.1. yesterday, I found that the Hotspot function cannot be used. Even the Hotspot Icon disappeared. Please help.

I found this happend to my ipad 1 and nothing seemed to resolve the problem......But I found a way around this quite easy: 1. Turn on personal hotspot on your iphone or what ever phone you may have that has this feature. 2. turn on bluetooth on your phone and your ipad. 3. search devices on your ipad and find your phone through the bluetooth feature. 4. now connect the 2 devices and your phone will start to flash "personal hotspot connection"
Your ipad infact does not even need a personal hotspot icon anymore to connect to your phone, its all done through bluetooth anyway. The only downside is that you will not be able to connect the 2 devices via wifi which you could do after 5.1.1 update , but at least you can still tether your 2 devices and enjoy internet on your ipad without needing a 3G sim version of ipad. Hope this helped

Where did my ringtones go after iOS 6 update

After updating to iOS 6 my ringtones are gone on my iPhone 4? Anyone else have this issue? I can honestly say that I regret upgrading to iOS 6. First my music wasn't synching and I had to manually fix that myself, thanks to a post I found on here and now my ringtones are gone. The iOS 5 update was a pain in the rear, but this one is really making me consider a change.
When I connect my phone to my MAC and click on the phone in iTunes and then click on Tones only one of my ringtones show up. I had 5 or 6. When I go into my iPhone settings for sounds/ringtones the only tones that show up are the default crappy iPhone tones. Very frustrating that everytime I do an update I have to manually go in a fix some screw up. Steve Jobs passing will be the end of Apple.

Strange that they don't show up in itunes. Where did you get these ringtones from?

Facebook app deadly slow, wifi slow, app downloading deadly slow, app crashes enormously, and maps too slow after iOS 6 update

I have a 3rd Gen Ipad Wifi, and it worked like a charm from the day I bought to the time before the update. All the problems started after iOS 6 update. Especially Facebook app is like a using dial up connection with the slowest possible speed. After the update, it became just a little bit faster, but still cant even open photos, and video. Google Chrome crashes often, the game download beame dead slow. Has any been experiencing similar things??????

Hello SHenoudabak,
It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot
Personal Hotspot - iPhone
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Can somebody tell me where can I find the "Personal Hotspot" in the new version of iOS 8?

Hi dears,
it has been noticed that the personal hotspot feature has been missed from the iOS 8. It was availbe in the cellular data in the setting in the previous ios but after I updated to the latest version i could not find it for my iPad Air. However, for my iPhone 4s it is still there after update.
Seeking your help and appreciate in advance.
Regards,
khalil Al Malki

Does your carrier support that feature on the iPad?

I have I phone 4 w/ iOS 6.1.3. Where is my personal hotspot button. I asked provider and they say ask Apple because the provider says it should be there

The hotspot will only show if your Carrier has provisioned the service on your account

IOS 8.0.2 broke the personal hotspot feature

I have an unlocked iPhone 5S purchased from Apple direct at full price. The hotspot feature always worked on iOS 7.x. I recently "upgraded" (read downgraded) to iOS 8.0.2 and my personal hotspot feature has simply disappeared. It does not appear where it is supposed to be. It is not there at -> Settings "Perosnal Hotspot" and it is also not there under -> Settings -> Cellular or -> Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network
(As shown here it simply does NOT appear at all: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/09/23/how-to-use-the-ios-8-hotspot/)
Some have suggested that "maybe a carrier update did this". It's alarming to think that a "carrier" could "update" my phone to remove vital features when I have an unlocked phone purchased outright at full price from Apple and I am using it with a no contract SIM. How this carrier could be allowed to damage my phone by disabling features is beyond me but even so I know this isn't the case because:
1) Others with the same carrier still have the feature.
2) By screwing around with network settings reset, and Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network -> Reset Settings sometimes I get it to reappear especially after i enter some garbage data at Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network: PERSONAL HOTSPOT "APN" "Username" and "Password" and then doing another Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Network -> Reset Settings. It appears on the screen Settings -> Cellular -> Personal Hotspot and it's disabled. But when I turn it on it disappears again.
Another horrific iOS 8.0.x bug...

I have also Iphone 5 , also also updated on IOS 8.0.2 few days ago but yesterday i also have this same problem of broken personal hotspot when i was needed, so i seached and seen you post but for me it is benificial that i tried and now fixed the problem, i know this is a bug of IOS 8 but what to do now let's see in future when apple fix it.i did same process like you ....settings....cellular,,,,,cellular data network and in the personal hotspot APN username and password submitted any thing then i return to main then i did reset settings in the cellular data network. i think it is not neccessary to do this reset.
i found personal hotspot in the...... cellular ...and then i switch off and on it was working and then i return back to.... settings....and hotspot was there like before and its functioning like in IOS 7.
Thanks a lot

I'm talking about the PAID FOR "Personal Hotspot" AT&T feature that comes with a 4GB dataplan. If you have a Jailbroken phone then this isn't for you.... Anyway, upgraded to IOS 5 and at the worst possible time I discovered that my phone no longer had the ability to share it's over the air data with my Laptop. Restarting the phone didn't help, turning cellular data on and off didn't help and after hitting a wall I called AT&T's tech support number as I had a strong suspicion what the problem was and that they'd be able to help. Despite explaining the problem and proposing a quick fix the agent made reference to an internal memo saying there are bugs in IOS 5 and that my lack of tether was an Apple software issue and I had to call them. Frankly in this case it's VERY MUCH an AT&T provisioning issue, and one AT&T should have their techs deal with in 30 seconds rather than waste customer's time pointing fingers. After a long and frustrating attempt to get the tech to fix the problem I ended the call by CANCELLING my tether plan and going back to the "Regular" 2GB plan. Reason being hat if it's an IOS bug then it will be weeks I'm paying for service that I'm not getting, or if I was right the problem would be fixed on my next call to AT&T. For giggles I called and spent a very miserable 40 minutes dealing with Apple's IVR and nice but dim tech who was more concerned that I didn't have Apple care than anything else. That call ended with Apple saying it's not them and I should call AT&T support... However, instead of beating my head against the wall again I called SALES and asked them to add 4GB data and teher to my phone. 5 minutes later I had working tether. Problem solved. Basically to enable tether the phone has to pass a sanity check that it hasn't been tampered with, and then to activate the feature a fil is pushed down over the air to "Bless" the iPhone. I suspect as part of the IOS upgrade something went out of whack with either the file or the anti-tamper checks. Solution was to reprovision tethering, but AT&T support wouldn't hear of it. So, if you have lost tethering after an IOS 5 upgrade and AT&T support won't help then the solution is pretty painless. A) call customer service (not tech support) and CANCEL your tethering and extended dataplan. B) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then wait another 30 mins or so and call SALES. Ask them to add Tethering and extended data to your account. C) Wait another 30 minutes, or if you're impatient you can try turning your phone on and off again, and you'll be back in business. The down side to the is is you pay for two data plans for this month, but get a credit for the overlap next month (ie net you don't lose out). Hoping AT&T reads this and stops wasting everyone's time by enabling 1st level support to deprovision and then reprovision tether without messing with billing. We can live in hope, but until then I hope this may help someone being bounced around in a game of "Blame Tennis". Once again AT&T = All Twisted & Tangled!

Why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad

why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad ?
i Am using my iPad as a hotspot to connect to the internet using my MacBook, now i can't
really I need help , or I need an app to solve this missing option

Well i got my iPad in India, Apple sells unlocked versions here. So i am tied with any provider, i can put in any carrier's sim card and it will work.
after upgrading to ios8 the "Personal Hotspot" was not visible. So as you can see in the Discussion above after putting “something” in the Username under APN settings of Personal Hotspot the “Set up Personal Hotspot” menu appeared. However I get the error about the Carrier if I tap on it…. Which does not make sense as I am using a unlocked iPad Air
