This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.Hello. Downloaded the Tether app, and am immediately prompted with "Local Network Permission Needed" with a button to "Go To Settings".
I'm very familiar with this and am fine with granting it, however there's no actual option to grant it. In Tether settings, it only has options for "Siri & Search" and "Language". When I go directly to "Local Network Permission" settings under "Privacy", Tether doesn't even appear as an app that's requested it.
I saw another thread about this (albeit regarding Kasa, not Tether, but same issue) and they were directed to a FAQ here, which shows screenshots that simply don't exit: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2937/
I also saw another thread where someone said "it probably already has it, you can check directly in the "local network permission" on the phone and the app will already be there", however I did that and the app does not even appear.
I'm on IOS 15.6 on iPhone 11 Pro, and the ability to grant local access simply isn't there for Tether. I had no issue doing it with Deco. Reinstalled and rebooted. Thanks

If you are still having issues, make sure you first try deleting and reinstalling the application from the store. If the behavior persists, find the storage settings on your phone and deleted the documents and data associated with the Tether App. This will delete any settings related to permissions that may be carrying over from Install to Install. The configuration of your router will remain the same as it is linked to your TP-Link ID
