What does Personal Hotspot: 1 Connection mean on Iphone?

I connected my Iphone to my laptop for the very first time ( my OS is Linux Ubuntu) and the message "Personal Hotspot:1 Connection" popped up on the top of my Iphone. What does that mean? Thanknyou!

That means that your laptop is using the internet (3G or 4G) of your iPhone.

"Personal Hotspot:1 Connection" means 1 device is connected to iphone. If you see "Personal Hotspot:2 Connection" that means 2 device or could also be just one device with two types of connections e.g. Wi-Fi and usb

Personal hotspot is a best features in iphone and i just love it. It allows you to have a Wi-Fi on another laptop or cell phone by enabling your personal hotspot from your iphone but remember that it only works when you enable your 3g or cellular network of iphone by enabling your personal hotspot just try it by opening the other phone Wi-Fi it shows you the Wi-Fi of your cell there you have to enter the password, password can be found in the bottom of that personal hotspot just scroll it down and you have your password.
