Is There a Way for Mac Mini to Automatically Connect to my iPhone’s Personal Hotspot?

[HappyDude20]

I hate when I get home (dont have internet in my 2 month AirBnb rental but do have fast data from my iPhone.

Ive been using my personal hotspot from my iPhone to surf the web using my Mac mini; however I hate having to connect and reconnect whenever I get home every time and log into my Mac, or when I’ve been gone in the shower and return and hour later and the screen is off.

Any help on this?

My main goal would be to have my Mac mini connect to my pocketed iPhone's Personal Hotspot when I first come in thorough the front door every evening.

I'm just not a fan of having to click the WiFi button on the top bar and clicking on my iPhone Hotspot name every single time.

Try connecting manually as normal. On the Mac > System Preferences > Network > Select the Wifi name > check Automatic connect radio button.

You just saved the day, thank you it was toggled off

In case anyone still interested in this, I wrote a service utilizing shell script to automatically connect to hotspot. Star if you like it.
