It has nothing to do with Wi-Fi calling. What the “green halo” means is that you are seeing the person’s location and movements, Live and in Real Time. This function works when the capability is available based on the person’s location and connectivity.

I understand what they’re saying because I was wondering the came thing too. Which is why I just researched it and now came across yours and their comment.

so when you’re watching someones location, where their picture is, sometimes there is a green halo around it. I noticed the same thing as them. There isn’t always a halo around it. It doesn’t matter if they’re in motion or not, that doesn’t make a difference. It’s just weird that it’s there at times but not always. That’s why I’m curious as well. I’m still learning about these smartphones since things change or get added constantly.
