Your Mac Can Auto-Join an iPhone Hotspot in macOS Tahoe

macOS Tahoe 26 includes support for automatically joining your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot when no Wi-Fi network is available, so you no longer need to manually connect.

To set up automatic joining in macOS Tahoe, you can click on the Wi-Fi button in the menu bar or Control Center to open up Wi-Fi Settings. From there, scroll down to the bottom where it says “Ask to join hotspots” and click to select the Automatic option.

With Auto-Join Hotspot turned on, when your Mac doesn’t have Wi-Fi available and is near an ‌iPhone‌ or iPad providing a Personal Hotspot, it will automatically attempt to join it.

Auto-Join works with Family Sharing, so you can set up your Mac to automatically connect to a family member’s Personal Hotspot, or allow their Mac to automatically connect to yours.
