hotspot not working

I am now unable to connect my iphone to any device (Macbook Pro or Ipad) using the hotspot.

This was working RIGHT BEFORE the new Sierra iOS16 update.


When Wifi calling is turned on - Personal Hotspot is grayed out.

When Data Calling is turned on - "allow others to join" - what does this mean?

  1. Other devices?
  2. Real-life "other" people


Or is "others" Apple Speak for other devices?

That means your MBP and/or iPad can use the iPhone's Internet connection.
