Feature Request: Allow Disabling the Persistent "Wi-Fi Calling" Notification

[ae648]

I am writing to request a small but significant UI improvement regarding the Wi-Fi Calling notification.

The Problem

Currently, when Wi-Fi Calling is active, a persistent notification is displayed:

1. As an icon in the top-left of the status bar.

2. As a non-dismissible card in the notification shade.

This notification is redundant because a Wi-Fi Calling status indicator already exists in the top-right Quick Settings area (next to the signal strength icon) when the notification shade is expanded.

This left-side notification provides no actionable information and creates unnecessary UI clutter.

The most significant issue occurs on an unstable connection. When the phone frequently switches between cellular and Wi-Fi Calling, the left-side notification icon constantly appears and disappears, creating a distracting "flickering" effect in the status bar. This is highly irritating.

Proposed Solution

I request that you provide an option to disable this persistent left-side notification.

A much cleaner implementation would be to simply make the existing top-right status icon (the one already shown in the expanded Quick Settings panel) the primary indicator. This icon should be made permanently visible in the main status bar's top-right corner whenever Wi-Fi Calling is active, just like the Wi-Fi, NFC, or Bluetooth icons.

This change would:

• Remove a redundant and distracting notification.

• Eliminate the "flickering" on unstable networks.

• Provide the necessary status information in a logical, standard, and unobtrusive location.

Thank you for considering this improvement.

Goodness

So many users have been complaining that they can't see an icon for WiFi calling as you've mentioned, here we are seeing the opposite!!!!!

Poor Samsung can't win 😂😂

I totally understand why many users want the Wi-Fi Calling indicator visible. I also do want a clear indicator, just not a constant, intrusive notification that flashes every time the network switches and at first sight looks like an important notification (e.g. a new message). 

So ideally:
• Keep the subtle Wi-Fi Calling icon next to the signal bars on the right side of the status bar
• Give users the option to disable the large notification and the left-side status icon

More choice = everyone wins.

So true, never going to keep everyone happy, so better they just keep me happy
