Guy help! I barely use my iphone as a hotspot device to my desktop pc and Android phone. So the amount of data they have taken is legit. Also my hotspot has password so only i use it. So what is this "Other devices" that is showing on the top that has supposedly taken 25gb of data (I've never kept my iphone hotspot on that much) which seems impossible to me.

3GB but basically never use it. Definitely a bug.

19gb for me… weird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I had the same problem. Support told me to put my data in low data mode, maybe they’ll fix it in an update… But low data mode fixed it for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Low data mode disables the private IP address security feature. That is what you “fixed”. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It didn’t disable it for me though… So yeah that fixed it for me for the time being, until Apple fixes it in an update.

32gb in other devices for me.

It randomly keeps saying on my phone hotspot devices that it’s being hacked because the name is India’s Official hacker PC-5373

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think it's any Apple device with private IP address enabled

You have a car with wireless CarPlay? Noticed the same after switching from wired to wireless

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think it doesnt consume your data allocation, I have the same problem. My personal hotspot indicates that it used 19gb but when I checked on my ISP app, I just used 5gb of data.
