With using a hotspot for the foreseeable future, my MBP doesn't want to automatically connect to my iphone's hotspot - each time the machine goes to sleep a need to re-connect manually. No issues with my iPad or work laptop (PC) connecting as soon as I toggle on the hotspot.

 

 

 

Any tips would be much appreciated

Assuming a manual connection works OK - check MBP and phone are at the latest version and patch set. Make sure you have wifi and Bluetooth both turned on on both devices. Also, FYI sometimes my MBP takes about a minute to auto-connect, and sometimes 10 seconds, don’t know why.
