"O2 - UK Wifi Calling" scrolling text - how do stop the scrolling text

lieslieslies — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 12:04:22 GMT

On my lock screen, in the top left, I have constantly scrolling text that reads “O2 - UK Wifi Calling”.

How do I turn it off? The only soloution J have found is to turn off wifi calling completely, but I use it so regularly that this isn’t a viable solution.

I have a Google Pixel 8.

Either by rooting your phone or using a different launcher app.

My Pixel 9 does the same. Can't say I have ever found it to be a problem

If you set your phone calling preference to Network then it will only appear when WiFi Calling kicks in

It doesn't do it on my Honor V5, Mororola G85 or iPhone Air and think its unique to Pixels (could be wrong).

As suggested, tailor your preferences for the feature, @lieslieslies
