WiFi Assist breaks WiFi Calling?
I was on the iphone today, and for the first time while home the call dropped twice in the span of ten minutes (called them back twice). We switched to email to avoid another possible drop. With tmobile WiFi calling, I almost never drop, while my regular reception at home is weak at best. I went through the settings to see what if anything was different. WiFi Assist was the only new and active thing I could find. I am not completely sure if WiFi calling pull downs data (audio) in the same way the browser would, but if WiFi Assist is automatically switching off WiFi use, then there may be a problem. WiFi calling, on the best circumstances, seamlessly switches to regular service when necessary. However, not only do I have poor regular coverage where I am, but also WiFi Assist is a wholly separate feature affecting the WiFi software. I shut off the feature for now. I prefer to stick with WiFi anyway, even if the signal is weaker than data.
Am I scapegoating a poorly described feature, or have others had similar issues?
iPhone 6, iOS 9
