When I try to connect my ubuntu with iphone's personal hotspot it won't connect in certain times, But sometimes it will recognize the device and connect to WiFi but it will automatically disconnect in 10 min or 15 min or so. I have no trouble with Android Phones, I have checked with Samsung, Oppo and Vivo everything is working fine, but iPhone has some problems

Struggled with this issue yesterday and now I just got it working. Hasn't even been 15 minutes yet I don't think but writing this on a laptop running ubuntu that's connected to my iPhone's hotspot as I type.

Here is how I got mine to work.

went into my laptop (ubuntu) settings -> select network -> WiFi settings -> gear icon to the right of "{{myName}}'s iPhone" -> Security and then I changed it from "WPA3 Personal" to "WPA & WPA2 Personal" and it started working!
