Wi-Fi Calling is a feature that allows you to make calls over the internet without having to use your phone’s data connection. This can be a great feature if you’re on a trip and want to make some calls while you’re away from your phone. However, there are a few things you can do to disable Wi-Fi Calling on Android, so that you can keep your data connection open.
- Open the Settings app and go to “Wireless & Networks.” Under “Wi-Fi Calling,” select “Not enabled.”
- Open the Google Play Store and search for “Disable Wi-Fi Calling.” Once found, tap on it and select “Yes.”
- Close all of your apps and reopen them all in order to enable Wi-Fi Calling again.
To summarize, you can disable Wi-Fi calling on Android by heading to Settings > Wi-Fi & Network > SIM & Network, choosing your SIM card, and turning off the Wi-Fi Calling option. For detailed instructions with screenshots, please read further.
