How do I manage Mobile Hotspot on iOS devices?

Many organizations avoid using public Wi-Fi networks in parks, hotels, bus stops, and railways as they come with the risk of data loss and theft. Personal hotspots are much safer compared to public Wi-Fi networks. Personal hotspots can be connected via Bluetooth, USB cable, and Wi-Fi.

WeGuard MDM allows admins to enable or disable personal hotspot settings on the device remotely, with which they can permit or restrict users from sharing mobile data.

Power utilization is genuinely high compared to other standards, which affects battery life and heat, and it can also significantly increase your mobile plan costs.
 

Managing Mobile Hotspot 

  • Log in to WeGuard Console
  • Click on Policies and choose the Policy.



  • Go to Restrictions and locate Personal Hotspot Modification.



  • Toggle off to disable personal hotspot modification on the device, then click Change Pending, followed by Confirm & Save.




Info

Result: On the device, the end user can’t turn "On" the hotspot, and they will not be able to share the internet via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB cable.
