How to Turn Off a Hot Spot on a Child's Account?

I need to remove a hot spot from a child's iPhone account. What are my options for doing so?

Thanks,

Ben

I'm not clear on what the question is. How does a "child" have an account? Is this a standalone hot spot device or are you referring to the hotspot through the user's phone?

Thanks for your response. It's a hotspot through the user's phone.

Hello @benperry1, let's get you covered!

 

You can turn off the hotspot in the settings of the device. Below are the steps:

  1. Open up the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Personal Hotspot.
  3. Turn off the switch next to Personal Hotspot.

Since hotspot is a function which is inbuilt, there is no way for you to remove it. Keep in mind this can be turned on at anytime by any family member who wishes to use it. 

 

Please reach out if you have further questions for us.
