Apple’s latest macOS update adds automatic iPhone hotspot connections, making your MacBook feel like it has built-in mobile data
macOS Tahoe is now available for supported Macs and MacBooks around the world, and alongside the new Liquid Glass look matching iOS, Apple has included a useful connectivity feature for when you’re out and about.
Previously, when your Mac wasn’t connected to Wi-Fi, you would get a prompt in the top-right corner of your screen asking if you’d like to connect to your iPhone hotspot.
The pop-up is indeed handy, but things can be made even easier, and Apple’s done just that with the newest OS for Macs and MacBooks.
Now, hotspot connections can happen automatically, with no action required from your part.
Now, in the System Settings app (or by clicking the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar and opening the settings from there), macOS Tahoe brings a new option to the ‘Ask to join hotspots’ — you now have the ‘Automatic’ option.
