i’m genuinely interested on how different cell carriers block personal hotspot use and throttle it too. Before I had added personal hotspot to my cellular plan I got this message (image attached). i couldn’t get my phone to show it again so the image is sourced from the web. but Apple seems to go as far as to give the carrier full control even to fully turn off personal hotspot. Isn’t this just a software limitation on the consumers end? It’s just your phones expanding your normal cell service to other devices over Wi-Fi instead of 4G. what confuses me is how they can pick up personal hotspot use in the first place? personal hotspot is a feature made by Apple and based in software on the physical phone. The carriers shouldn’t have access to the settings?
