This may instead turn into an option to have a SetupWizard screen to enable it, discussion needs to be had around this.

Isn't it already disabled by default? On fresh setup or changing a sim card, I've found it is necessary to manually switch wifi calling on to make it work.

It depends on the carrier

It's necessary when signal strength is low - is there detection?

Carriers or the user can decide when it automatically kicks in. We aren't going to remove the option for the user to enable/disable it.

Can someone provide some details about VoLTE? I can't find, how this feature is implemented in the OS / Chipset of a phone. Where does this feature sit? Is the traffic going to be routed via VPN or is there an exception? My personal opinion is, that it's much more safer to get VoLTE Calls instead of regular calls. Because via Mobile Carrier the phone can be triangulated. With VoLTE only the IP gets exposed. The IP you have control over.

VoLTE traffic is carrier traffic and not user defined traffic, it won't go via a VPN.

Because via Mobile Carrier the phone can be triangulated. With VoLTE only the IP gets exposed. The IP you have control over.

LTE is the telecoms network. This statement doesn't make sense. What generation of mobile network technology you are using doesn't change the fact that the carrier can always obtain a coarse location.
