iOS 9: create a hotspot - how it works
If you want to share the data connection on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch under iOS 9, all you need is a hotspot. We'll show you step by step how to create the hotspot.
Instructions: Set up hotspot on iOS 9
Note: A hotspot cannot be created on every iPhone. For example, if you use a prepaid provider like Edeka Mobil, you are using the Vodafone network, but the hotspot function is only available for Vodafone customers.
- Open the "Settings" app and select the category "Personal hotspot".
- If the function is not visible, tap the "Configure personal hotspot" option under "Mobile network".
- Activate the hotspot and tap on the "WLAN password" item below.
- If you wish, you can set your own password for access here.
- Other devices can now connect to your hotspot via WLAN. Alternatively, you can also use the hotspot on a PC via Bluetooth, USB or WLAN.
