Ok, so I have a really strange issue with Personal HotSpot and Family Sharing.

I have an iPhone XS (current up to date firmware) and my wife has an iPhone 7 (current up to date firmware).

I have already set up Family Sharing with my family as I have all the options on my iPhone as to which features to share with them. I am the organiser of Family Sharing (this also shows on both devices showing me as the organiser).

The strange problem is, is that on my wife’s phone, when she goes to Personal Hotspot, she sees an extra option for Family Sharing in which she can choose to share her hotspot with just family members, however, on my XS, I do NOT see that extra option under Personal Hotspot even though I am the organiser ?!?!?

This makes no sense......?!

....I don’t think that’s the case. It makes no sense that she can share the Hotspot to family members but I can’t, when I’m the organiser?!
