Hi i am using iPhone 11 and the latest update disabled the option of wifi calling when airplane mode turned on. I live where there is a very very poor signal strength. And this wifi calling was great. I use airplane mode to reduce the Huge drain of battery just by searching for signal strength.
Now in 13.4 i am unable to use the wifi calling on airplane mode.
Is there any fix for this or just Apple has to give an update?
Hello Rina,
WiFi calling still works under iOS 13.4 when Airplane mode is invoked. Here is how I recommend that you try-
See the image below for reference-
If the above does not work then ensure that WiFi calling is set to ON as follows and try again-
Open Settings ➔ Cellular ➔ WiFi Calling ➔ WiFi Calling on This iPhone is set to ON.

To use Wi-Fi Calling, you need an iPhone 5c or later on a supported carrier.
If your carrier supports Wi-Fi Calling on iCloud-connected devices, you can also make and receive Wi-Fi calls on other devices.
Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud and FaceTime with the same Apple ID that you use on your iPhone. Also make sure that your devices have the latest software.
To place a Wi-Fi call from your iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac, follow these steps.
After you put your iPhone on airplane mode, did you wait for at least 30 seconds to see if WiFi calling was activated?
I also recommend that you Force ReStart your iPhone as instructed in this article by Apple ➔ How to Force ReStart Your iPhone and see if that helps. Thanks.

Yup have done the following like Force Restart and Reset Network.
But i noticed that after my mobile got restarted, the wifi calling was on but also i had to turn it off and back on to make it work.
And yes i waited lot more than 30 secs for wifi calling to appear but didn’t.
@Sunny_2012 - No i haven’t got a solution yet. I am simply waiting for the next update now to see if its fixed in the next version atleast.
Since iOS 13.4 only i am having this issue.
Apple support suggested me to do a restore but i had a faulty usb so couldn’t perform it.
Seems like we will get an update by this week or by next week with the covid support. But i don’t think they would have sorted our bug.
I also had given a feedback. Let’s see what happens.
Hey Axel
I tried the steps you mentioned. And all are in the right way though but yet wifi calling isn’t available on airplane mode. It worked fine on the previous 13.3.1 and others.
Aren’ screenshot with airplane mode on
Watch the GIF below made on iPhone SE iOS 13.4
How come its working? But not for me?
Have you enabled WiFI after putting Airplane Mode ON?
At times Airplane Mode disables WiFI, if so enable it with Airplane mode ON
Yes SravanKra it is turned on after airplane mode too
Even I am facing the same issue. I even tried formatting and restoring my iPhone. IOS 13.4.1.
Unable to use WiFi calling in airplane mode. @iMrinal - did u get a solution ?
