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

I used my phone as hot spot for my PC for around 4 weeks daily for sometimes up to 16 hours non stop because I had a problem with my internet provider. Never had any problems with this and honestly never heard of this by anyone either. Sounds like a you and your brother problem to me.

I have noticed that there is no problem using personal hotspot on when I connect my iPhone to say an android device or Windows computer. But once I connected to other Apple devices.

I carry 2 iphones every day and sometimes I get better signal on one of them, enable personal hotspot and keep browsing.

The real stupid thing is apple shutting down the hotspot when you‘re not connected to your second iphone and the other device is not using the internet for a minute. Like when you make a hotspot for your windows laptop. Go to the bathroom -> reenable the hotspot.
