  1. I have a iPhone 7 and Apple Watch series 7
    My watch app has no toggle for wifi calling! Only mirror my iPhone, custom and ringtone sound hepatic. No wifi calling.
    I live in Canada and wonder if it’s not available here? My phone is on wifi calling and enabled for other devices. My iPad and MacBook show up but not my Apple Watch.

    1. I tested the whole process again. The Apple Watch option is no longer available, which is why you can’t see it.

      Now, it is auto-enabled once you enable Wi-Fi calling and Calls on Other Devices.

      Try calling from your Apple Watch; it should be working.
