Is it possible to make Instant Hotspot genuinely instant through Bluetooth? For example, having my device automatically connect to my computer when detected without having to select it from the dropdown? I have my device set as the default network in Settings > Network > Advanced but am still unable to connect automatically through Bluetooth. If there are apps or programs that would allow this, that would be great. Thank you!
Got a tip for us?

The hotspot feature is not meant to be a permanent day-to-day solution as it a) uses a lot of battery if used wirelessly and b) most people don't have plans to support this kind of usage.
So no, automatically connecting to your phone as if it were a permanent wifi outlet is not possible. In its literal sense it already is genuinely Instant Hotspot.
There might be a jailbreak solution though.
