Macbook pro 2015 ethernet to wifi internet sharing not working along with Bluetooth connection between Macbook pro and iphone 11 not working When I set up the internet sharing on my Macbook pro to share over wifi it doesn’t seem to work. The bluetooth seems to have an error and i saw this covered here in communities but I don’t wanna re install Mac OS. I just got the new update on my iphone 11 and Mac book pro 2015. The Bluetooth still doesn’t connect and when i click on the wifi hotspot from my laptop and enter the password it just stays stuck on loading and doesn’t actually connect from my iPhone. Please help me fix these issues. these are not problems I would want on any devices let alone Apple. I don’t want to reinstall Mac OS just to see it still doesn’t work. The internet sharing does work via USB. Also is the USB internet connection supposed to work for android phones? because when I connect mine that also doesn’t work. I have wifi off in the picture because it wasn’t connecting. The Bluetooth problem is where it says connection unsuccessful. On the Macbook pro it first says connected after pairing and then it says not connected

Bluetooth is a strictly-local interface, and cannot be shared.

You can only share interfaces that are otherwise not-in-use.

So if your MacBook is using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet, it cannot share Wi-fi to your iPhone, But if your macBook has Wi-Fi coverage, so should your phone.

Hi, you're right, I finally use the USB Phone to connect my iPhone to the Macbook.
