Personal Hotspot
Use Personal Hotspot to share your iPhone Internet connection. Computers can share your Internet
connection using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a USB cable. Other iOS devices can share the connection
using Wi-Fi. Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular data
network.

After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
Wi-Fi: On the device, choose your iPhone from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
USB: Connect iPhone to your computer using the cable that came with it. In your computer’s
Network preferences, choose iPhone and configure the network settings.
Bluetooth: On iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then turn on Bluetooth. To pair and connect
iPhone with your Bluetooth device, refer to the documentation that came with your device.
