iOS 26.4 adds a new feature to show how much mobile data connected devices have used via Personal Hotspot.
Available in Personal Hotspot settings below the “Maximize Compatibility” toggle, the functionality breaks down data usage by device, with non-Apple devices simply showing up as a group of “Other Devices.” Total Personal Hotspot Data usage is also displayed.
Previously, there was no way to see how much data was being used by devices connected to a Personal Hotspot. The feature may be particularly helpful to those with a data limit on their carrier plan.
iOS 26.4 is now available in beta to developers. A public beta will be released in the near future. Apple plans to release the update in the spring.
