How to share iPhone’s mobile connection by tethering or hotspot?

Apple might not make a MacBook that has an LTE chip inside it yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t deliver Wi-Fi to your laptop when you need it.

As long as you have an iPhone handy, you can easily and securely share your connection with your MacBook or iPad in a pinch.

STEPS:

  • If your Apple devices are signed in to the same iCloud account, connecting is as easy as choosing your iPhone’s name in the Wi-Fi list.
  • Click on the Wi-Fi symbol in the status bar or head to the Wi-Fi settings on your iPad, and you’ll see a Personal Hotspot section.
  • Tap the name of your iPhone you’ll be connected without needing to enter a password.

You can also tether your iPhone via Bluetooth or USB for a more personal network, though those methods will be a bit slower. To connect over Bluetooth, you’ll need to pair your iPhone with the other device and then connect to the Bluetooth PAN network.

Similarly, to connect over USB, connect your iPhone to the other device using a Lightning-to-USB cable and connect to the device directly in the network preferences.

When you’re finished using the network, you can simply disconnect on the other device and if you’re sharing it with others, turn off the personal hotspot on your iPhone.
