APN (Acces Point Name) is a configuration used by cellular network operators which is useful for identifying the network on a device.
Setting APN on iPhone also functions to enable personal hotspot on iPhone. Personal hotspot or personal hotspot on iPhone is a useful feature for sharing the internet connection from our iPhone to iPhone devices or other Apple devices.
This feature cannot be used immediately if you don’t set the APN first, there isn’t even a menu to activate the hotspot.
Therefore, iPhone users must know how to set APN on iPhone. So, without waiting long, let’s get straight to the tutorial.
How to Set iPhone Personal Hotspot APN
For example, here I will try setting the personal hotspot APN for the XL card. XL is one of the most popular operators in Indonesia used on iPhone phones.
The way to set the iPhone XL hotspot is as follows:
- First go to “Arrangement” iPhone.
- To activate personal hotspot, please select the “menu”Mobile“.
- Next select the menu “Cellular Data Network“.
- There are 4 APN menus that you need to fill in (CELLULAR DATA, LTE, MMS and HOTSPOT), you can fill in all or only as needed. In the APN option, please fill in apn xl, namely Internet.
- You don’t need to fill in the User Name, Password and other sections, just leave them blank.
- Finished.
- Now go back to the first Settings page, see whether the Personal Hotspot menu appears or not, as shown below.
That’s how it works, it’s very easy, isn’t it? The method above is not only for XL cards, but can be used for all cards. You just need to change the APN according to the operator so that the internet connection is more stable.
Oh yes…if the Personal Hotspot menu doesn’t appear, please close the Settings application first then open it again. If it doesn’t appear, you may need to restart your iPhone.
