Creating a shortcut to connect ipad wifi to iphone tethering

Is there any specific shortcut action that can tether my ipad to my iphone? The previous post asking this just got generic instructions on how to use shortcuts, which does not answer the question.

Why bother with the unnecessary complexity of writing a shortcut? If correctly configured, your iPad will automatically connect to your iPhone's hotspot when WiFi is not available.


Assuming that both iPad and iPhone are using the same AppleID, verify your device settings:


iPad

Settings > WiFi > Auto-Join Hotspot - select Automatic


iPhone

Settings > Personal Hotspot > Allow Others to Join - set to ON
