Let me start by saying I have auto update on and don’t know exactly when it updates, but this update is the only thing I can think of, so I’m going to tie it to the update...
Well for work I’m provided an iPhone 7 to use as a hotspot, don’t ask me why they didn’t just get us all hotspots instead of phones...but up until a few days ago after about 90 seconds or so of non usage, my hotspot would basically shut off. I would have to pull up control center and turn it back on if I wanted to connect. I have been doing it like this for over a month and literally everyone I know at this place is doing the same damn thing for years. I searched for hours trying to find a solution to just have it always broadcast and auto connect when I woke up my main device, but it looks like this disconnect thing is just a feature with iPhones. All of that was up until a few days ago...I just noticed that over the past few days, I havent touched my work device and I have stayed connected. I checked all my setting, they’re all the same. I test the falling asleep thing...sure enough after about 90 seconds it disconnects, BUT as soon as I pick up my personal phone (iPhone X, iOS 12.1PB), it autoconnects to the hotspot. It’s like my dreams came true...but is this a bug in 12.1, can anyone else duplicate this, did a fairy sneak into my phone and change a setting?! What has changed in the last week to allow this? How can I fix everyone else’s phone to get this to work too?
