Why can iPhones share cellular data but not their wifi?
In: Technology
Because Apple has decided not to implement the feature.
There are many phones that can do this, dating back to 10+ years ago. I used to use the feature or my Galaxy s7 often to share hotel wifi with my laptop as many hotels at the time only allowed a single device per room to connect. Before that, I’d often do the same with my Windows laptop.
iPhones cannot do it because due to security, hardware, usability, cost, or lack of interest – Apple has decided not to implement it in the operating system. Probably most likely, they decided the feature would be very rarely used and may confuse users.
