In case you were wondering.Note: You can only use Personal Hotspot by sharing the cellular internet connection on your iPhone. You can’t connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network, and then share that network with another device.
I really appreciate that they directly stated that. What makes a search about whether or not you can do something take a long time is that companies tend to avoid saying what a product cannot do. So, you end up finding clue afte clue that people have trouble doing something, but no explicit word that you can’t.
