At its best, Wi-Fi can make voice calls without relying on a cell signal, but at its worst, Wi-Fi is frustrating enough to want to rip your hair out.</p><p>
If the latest iOS 9 developer beta is any indication, Apple’s newest mobile software update will make the most out of your Wi-Fi connection at all times—even when the Wi-Fi signal sucks.
9to5Mac has uncovered that iOS 9 will introduce Wi-Fi Calling to AT&T users. iOS 9 will also include Wi-Fi Assist, a feature that automatically boosts your connection by relying on a cell signal when your Wi-Fi is weak.</p><p>
Wi-Fi Calling allows you to make a call using a Wi-Fi connection instead of a cell signal. Even though the option to enable Wi-Fi Calling shows up in the Settings of iPhones running the beta, once you toggle it on you get an error message. “Oops! Wi-Fi Calling isn’t yet available in your area, but check back soon.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2966155/ios/ios-9-to-add-wi-fi-calling-for-att-users-and-wi-fi-assist-in-case-wi-fi-sucks.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
