Recently, Samsung has started recruiting One UI 4 beta program for its latest foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in South Korea and India. The beta program allows users to experience the upcoming features and changes of the new operating system.

The One UI 4 based on Android 12 comes with new and improved customization and privacy capabilities that give users control over many aspects of their mobile experience. However, here we are talking about the Wi-Fi calling feature on One UI 4.

If you have a Wi-Fi connection in an area with little or no cellular network coverage, the Wi-Fi calling feature allows you to make or receive calls. You can make voice calls over the connected Wi-Fi network instead of using the mobile operator’s network connection.
