FIX: iPhone Hotspot Unavailable

Make available personal hotspot in all Apple Devices 

Personal Hotspot allows you to share the cellular data of your device.

If Personal Hotspot is missing, then it's not a bug as it is depended on a carrier you use. It may be unavailable if you are not subscribed to it.

If your carrier provides Personal hotspot and is unavailable then perform the below-given steps to activate it.
  •  Go to settings > Cellular/mobile
  •  Now check your carrier and  APN. 
Every Carrier has its own APNs so see below and enter your APN from the list. If it's not available here, then contact your carrier or Google it and add a comment below post so I can update this list for other readers.
