Use your iPhone to connect other devices to the internet
Tetheringis a super-useful feature of the iPhone.
Tethering isn’t iPhone-only; it’s available on many smartphones.
In this case, the iPhone functions like a traditional Wi-Fi router.
Data sent to and from the connected devices is routed through the iPhone to the internet.
Tethering is usually slower than broadband orWi-Fi connections, but it’s also more portable.
As long as the smartphone has data service reception, the connection is available.
Tethering on the iPhone supports connections between devices using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.
That’s because tethering is the general name for this feature, while Apple’s version is calledPersonal Hotspot.

Security for iPhone Tethering
For security purposes, all tethering networks are password-protected by default.
That means that they can only be accessed by people with the iPhone’s tethering password.
That makes them pretty secure.
If you want, though, you canchange the default passwordof your iPhone Personal Hotspot.
Data overages triggered by using tethering are charged at the same rate as traditional data overages.
As a result, tethering is now included in most plans from every major carrier for no additional price.
That amount varies by phone company.
In some cases, users with unlimited data plans are not able to use tethering to preventhigh data use.
You mustget these apps from outside the App Store.
Close applicationsyou’re not using and disable background apps, thenreset your web connection parameters.
If you have a protective case, remove it to see if that helps.
Check your data usage to confirm you haven’t reached your limit.
To find your hotspot password, on your iPhone, go toSettings>Personal Hotspot.
Your password will be listed next toWi-Fi Password.
If people are connecting to your hotspot without your permission, change the password.
