For information on how to make Wi-Fi calls on iPhone or other iOS devices that may not be
on the same Wi-Fi network, see .
Messages
Switch between your iOS devices (iOS 8 or later) and Mac computers (OS X Yosemite or
later) as you send and receive SMS and MMS text messages. Just sign in to iMessage with
the same Apple ID as on your iPhone. For more information, see
.
Instant Hotspot
You can use Instant Hotspot to provide Internet access to your other iOS devices (iOS 8 or
later) and Mac computers (OS X Yosemite or later) where you’re signed in to iCloud using
the same Apple ID. Instant Hotspot uses your iPhone Personal Hotspot, without you having
to enter a password or even turn on Personal Hotspot.
Use Instant Hotspot. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your other iOS device, then simply choose
your iPhone network under Personal Hotspots. On your Mac, choose your iPhone network
from your Wi-Fi settings.
When you’re not using using the hotspot, your devices disconnect to save battery life. For
more information see .
Note: This feature may not be available with all carriers. Additional fees may apply. Contact
your carrier for more information.
Personal Hotspot
Use Personal Hotspot to share your iPhone Internet connection. Computers can share your
Internet connection using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a USB cable. Other iOS devices can share
the connection using Wi-Fi. Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the
Internet over the cellular data network.
Note: This feature may not be available with all carriers. Additional fees may apply. Contact
your carrier for more information.
Share an Internet connection. Go to Settings > Cellular, then tap Personal Hotspot—if it
appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
