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

100000% agree. You can keep hotspot on and visible at all times, so any device can join in, not only Apple devices that are under the same Apple account or family members, some can be scheduled to turn off after an x amount of time, some can even act as a router depending on hardware and root access.

Years ago when I used to jailbreak, there were tools to make similar functions for iPhone, but I don’t touch jailbreak for more than a decade now.
