I have an iPhone 8 with a mobile internet connection and an MacBook Pro 13, which is connected to the internet via the iPhone.
On iPhone, I turn on the Personal HotSpot, and then on MacBook I connect to my iPhone, and that’s how I get the internet connection for my laptop.
The problem is that when I close the lid of my laptop for a few minutes, the connection is broken (I no longer have internet on my laptop), and in that situation I am forced to manually re-start the hotspot on my iPhone. Only then does my iPhone show up as an available connection on Mac.
This is obviously not how it’s supposed to be, so I must be doing something wrong. What I want is to have the connection between my iPhone and MacBook persist (stay connected), even if I close the lid for 5 minutes.
