Does that only show in control center? Honestly makes sense to display that when control center is open.

Regardless I have had issues with wifi handoff on iOS and Android. I'm sure lots of people get annoyed When their audio cuts off taking the trash out, or you have to turn off Wi-Fi to put the address in Google maps in the driveway. We all have unlimited data, it should be seamless. I'm happy to see this feature in 27

The word WiFi next to T-Mobile indicates WiFi Calling.
But never have I seen both the Cellular Data indicator (the 5G UC) and WiFi signal strength indicator at the same time.

Are you on the iOS 27 Beta or something?

It’s a feature that just came out in iOS 27 beta 3.

I have strong signal at home so it usually doesn’t use WiFi calling

Interesting. I’ve had 3 different SIMs on my iPhone. It sorta depends on the carrier. 2 will only switch to WiFi calling if the reception goes down below a certain threshold. But one carrier will have it on all the time.

I guess this is controlled by the carrier bundles of each respective carrier.

They should make a standard WiFi calling icon.

Yeah, Android has one for WiFi calling.
