iPhone Using Shortcuts/Automation to turn on wifi calling

[Chrisfrank1985]

Hi all.
I was hoping someone would be able to tell me how I could set a shortcut/automation on iOS 13 which will turn on wifi calling when I arrive at a location (home) and turn it off when I leave. We don’t get phone signal at home but the calling doesn’t work properly at other locations if I forget to turn it off.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple has only provided an extensive but finite of set of hooks into system features. Wifi calling is not one of those features (yet).

I've run into a similar issue where I would like my phone to auto connect to Starbucks wifi when I arrive, but I can't even do that.

Apple still seems squeamish on having the phone make automated connections to certain networks. Your alternative is to leave wifi calling off by default and give yourself a location-based reminder to turn it on at home. Not a perfect solution but better than missing calls.
