Mac OS X Yosemite: new instant hotspot
Mobile work is even easier with the new "Instant Hotspot" function: This automatically opens a hotspot on your iPhone for Mac, from your Mac. All without having to take your iPhone out of your pocket.
- In order to use the "Instant Hotspot" function, your devices must be used with the same Apple ID.
- If you need the WiFi connection of your personal hotspot from the iPhone, it will automatically appear in the WiFi list of your Mac.
- You can even see the connection status and battery life.
- If you no longer need the hotspot, the function is then deactivated again. This protects the iPhone's battery.
- Note: This feature requires an iPhone with at least iOS 8.
