Since updating to Oreo this morning, my S8 keeps notifying me to turn on wifi calling, even though it is already on. I turned it off, shut down the phone, then turned it back on to see if that helped, but still getting the notification. Any ideas?

I've also noticed that when wifi calling is turned on, the Verizon network icon is greyed out completely. When I turn wifi calling off in the settings, the network icon stays greyed out until I restart my phone.

Thank you for replying. It says to Tap here to start using wifi calling,
even though it is already on. I tap and save my 911 address info and save.
It does not take me to a screen that's says to update or accept terms and
conditions. Within 10 minutes or so, it pops up again. The only way to stop
it is to turn off wifi calling. I have attached screen shots of what I see.
Thanks for your assistance!

I don't want to activate wifi calling or agree to the terms and conditions. Please remove the notification from my screen that you forced through the update.

We understand how upsetting it is when a software update brings unwanted changes, capobean. You came to the right place for solutions.

- Go to Settings/Apps/Show system apps...
- Scroll down to Wi-Fi Calling, tap it.
- Tap Storage
- Tap Clear Data, then delete, then back previous screen

I'm afraid you sent this to wrong person. I'm just another phone owner.

I am having the same problem since the update. Every time I open the notification it takes me to a screen to update my 911 information, which I have done. I have never seen an accept terms and conditions screen though. I need wifi calling in my office, so I would like this function. I was using it prior to the update with no problems.
