Wifi call enabled only on certain wifis

Hi, wifi calling does not work properly (or at all) in many wifi networks (for example in my work) but I would like to enable it in some specific wifi networks. Also iOS does not detect well when wifi calling works well or not so if I enable it I miss a lot of calls.

Is there a way to enable it automatically only in some networks?

I have seen that shortcuts has the possibility to do an action when connected or dissconected from a wifi network but what I miss it is the possibility to enable/disable wifi calling.

There is no way to limit WiFi calling to specific WiFi networks. I don't know of any way to 'automate' turning WiFi calling off and on. Maybe the better solution is to not join the WiFi networks where WiFi calling doesn't work reliably.

If it doesn't work on the WiFi network in your office, that's probably because your employer has implemented a firewall to limit what traffic can pass to and from their network and the protocols necessary for WiFi calling have been blocked. Go talk to your IT department.

Wifi Calling is available in select countries with select Cellular. You are privileged!

However, since you are facing issues with Wifi calling contact your Cellular Service provider as this service is provided by them and not Apple.

Hi, thanks for the advice, the problem is that the service works “sometimes”. So the iPhone activates it, but when it stops working it does not detect it so it does not go back to LTE.

Anyway, I am not looking to solve that, I want to find a way to make iOS activate the service only whe I am at home.

There are many ways to detect that I am at home in shortcuts, what I cannot do is to activate/deactivate WiFi calls.

Do you know a way to do that?
