(Another) potential Battery Drain issue

Just noticed when I was scanning from my mac to hook onto a wifi network, it was also showing my iphone as a device to connect onto (personal hotspot). I checked the settings and personal hotspot was off, but tried to connect the mac anyway and it still connected.


Workaround - swtich off mobile data (only good if your in wifi to use the phone for more than just a phone!).


Not sure if anyone has seen this/corrabarate what I have seen.


Bug noted and sent apple.

Is that not just the Instant Hotspot feature of Continuity? - I don't think Personal Hotspot needs to be enabled for that feature to work.

not sure, that would mean your iphone is permantly "advertising" itself as a hotspot and open up for force entry perhaps....lets see what Apple respond on the bug report.

Accepted Answer

That is a permanent continuity feature for a looong time, has nothing to do with personal hotspot, when your iPhone and Mac are using the same iCloud account you can always see it from the wifi menu.
