iOS has had an issue for years now, where if you lock the screen of the iPhone that using the personal hotspot, it will automatically disconnect for some stupid reason. Android doesn’t have this problem. I think the reasoning is, because iOS and android used to different hotspots. Say I use my sisters, android devices are hotspot, and that never happens when I lock my device. Can Apple use the same Wi-Fi hotspot very because this is really annoying

Happens quite often on my 11 pro, no issue with my 15 pro. Probably due to 11 pro having a shitty intel modem

I know many don’t have this issue, but a lot of people do. Just a quick look at Apple forums and you can see “my hotspot stops when screen is locked” types of post.

I do wish it would be similar on how it’s done in Android.

It may only happen if hotspot user has also kept phone idle for some time.

Rubbish, I use my hotspot with the screen locked and still in my pocket.

I have this issue so much! Especially if my connected devices don’t use mobile data heavy apps, my phone for some reason thinks, that I don’t need internet

Use hotspot everyday for 8 hours straight and never had this issue.

Did you have the iPhone on low power mode? I 'believe' that maybe disconnects it if you lock the screen. At least it used to.
