The OP is on AT&T. AT&T and Verizon prefer cellular, and will use cellular if there is a reasonably strong cellular signal. Only T-Mo prefers Wi-Fi.
OP - if you have 3-4 bars of 5G AT&T at your house, your phone will not use Wi-Fi calling, even if you enable it.
I know that, but I am still saying my battery still takes a hit when I have WiFi calling activated and back to normal when turned off.
