Anyway to make tethering from my iPhone to my iPad more reliable ?

[max2]

I have a iPhone 6s Plus and a iPad Pro 10.5 inch. Sometimes the iPad refuses to connect to my iPhone or I have to manually turn on personal hotspot and then enter the password on iPad.

I frequently have to connect my Windows laptop to my iPhone 7+ and I never leave the hotspot enabled full time. I turn it on when I need it then turn it off when I’m done. I’ve also experienced erratic connection reliability as you have when leaving the hotspot turned on full time.

I use my hotspot on phone occasionally—Ipad pro is on TMobile, phone is Verizon so when traveling i sometimes have to use hotspot on Iphone (also 6sPlus) and if I watch coverage on phone, don’t seem to have issues with it. I do turn it on when needed.
