Which iPhones Have Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi calling is one of the most established iOS features, and you’ll find the feature on several devices. As long as you use an iPhone 5C or later, you’ll have access to it.

You also don’t need iOS 16 to use Wi-Fi calling on your device.

Now that you know which iPhone devices have Wi-Fi calling, let’s look at how you can switch it on. Doing so is simple; follow the steps below to achieve your desired result.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to Cellular.
  2. Select the Wi-Fi Calling tab.
  3. Toggle Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone on.

How to Disable Wi-Fi Calling on iOS

If you want to turn Wi-Fi calling off, you basically just need to do the opposite of the above. Here are the steps laid out if you want to follow along:

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular Wi-Fi Calling.
  2. When you see the Toggle Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone option, switch it off.

Once the toggle turns gray, your changes will take immediate effect.

Note that you can still make calls while connected to your Wi-Fi when you turn this feature off. However, they will come from your mobile network instead.

Enabling and Disabling Wi-Fi Calling Takes Little Time

Wi-Fi calling has many advantages on iOS, and it can help you get a better connection if your network coverage isn’t great. But at the same time, it’s not for everyone; keeping the tool switched on can significantly drain your battery life.

Regardless of whether you want to turn the feature on or off, the steps for doing so are pretty simple.
