Waiting for the day when I can set my own Search Engine in Safari, set Wifi hotspot as default (it defaults to USB / bluetooth), and use iPhone hotspot to update my iPad (iPad refuses to download updates when connected to iPhone hotspot even when Low-Data mode is disabled).

> set Wifi hotspot as default (it defaults to USB / bluetooth)

Wdym? I have hotspot enabled on my iPhone, and it's always shows up on my laptop as wifi to connect to whenever I'm away from home/work/coffeeshop wifi that I've previously connected to.

It requires you to always keep your Wifi radios on. What I meant was that the hotspot option should toggle Wifi radios when needed (and not always). This is possible through Shortcuts but is a bit finnicky.
