We've recently moved across the country and have a 2-3 week wait before our ISP comes and sorts the wifi out so in the meantime my family will be using my iPhone 13 Pro as a hotspot as I have a 13 mini I primarily use in my daily life.

2 questions:

1. My iPhone's hotspot frequently becomes "hidden" and I have to turn it off and on again for it to be discoverable on my MacBook. Is there a way to prevent this?

2. We all use MacBooks/iPhones with our own Apple ID. If they use my hotspot, will my history/photos/browser stuff be visible to everyone? Will their data/websites accessed be saved in my Apple ID or in my phone in any way?

Thanks and my apologies if these questions come across as rather silly and uninformed!
