Wi-Fi calling indication in status bar of iPhone 12

This article claims that “ If Wi-Fi Calling is available, you’ll see Wi-Fi after your carrier name in the status bar. Then your calls will use Wi-Fi Calling.”


However there is no such wording ever shown on my iPhone 12 even though WiFi calling is working.


In fact, I don’t even see where there is room for this indication of Wi-Fi calling to **** in the status bar at the top of the iPhone 12 home screen.


If you are getting this indication, could you please send a screenshot of what the indication looks like on the home screen.


If not, how can this be enabled so that we know from home screen that Wi-Fi calling is active, like we could see in earlier versions of the iPhone?

Hi there Global99-,


We understand that you would like to know how to see Wi-Fi in the status bar next to your carrier name on your iPhone 12 while using Wi-Fi Calling. We’d be happy to provide some information. 


With the iPhone 12, you will only be able to see this when you access the Control Center on your device.

As long as ‘Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone’ is enabled under Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, then this feature should be working when you make calls while connected to a Wi-Fi connection. 


We hope that helps!
