I updated to iOS 12(on an iPhone SE) yesterday and my WiFi calling feature went to hell. Needed two/three reboots and toggling WiFi calling for it to work again. Still seems flaky and I'm heavily dependent on it to work as my apt gets 0 reception. Apart from this frustrating issue, I love the integration for password managers they have now. It's made my life so much easier.

My AT&T WiFi didn't work immediately after the update, but I didn't reboot and within a few hours it was working again. I did turn WiFi Calling off and on again, once, in Settings---not sure if that was necessary as it didn't immediately fix it.

I use AT&T too. It was spotty but much better yesterday. I suppose it just needed some combination of reboot/toggle to work again.

They definitely changed something about how WiFi calling works, because with this update my carrier was finally able to support WiFi calling on iOS for the first time. For some reason, up until iOS 12 they couldn't do that or visual voicemail.

My carrier is a reseller (MVNO) on top of T-Mobile. Curious to know why they couldn't offer these features before.
