I updated this on July 20, 2024 because my discovery on multi-device connection was accidental. I forgot to update this! Sorry. There still exists such a problem with Visible not allowing multiple devices to connect to iPhone hotspot. These were the steps that I did to connect multiple devices to connect:
- Turned Hotspot ON on the iPhone 8.
- Tethered my latptop using USB cable. My laptop automatically used the iPhone 12 as an Ethernet network connection.
- Connected my iPad-1 to the iPhone's hotspot - it connected!
- Connected my iPad-Pro to the iPhone's hotspot - it connected as well!
That was the workaround to make iPhone to allow multiple devices to connect to the Visible hotspot.

No! The last iOS version of my SE first gen is 15.8.3. That’s if for the SE.
My iPhone 8’s iOS version is 16.7.9.
These two devices have been sitting on those versions for a while and no longer getting updates even though they are set to Automatic Updates = On.
