Carrier features

Carrier video calling (ViLTE)

Video calls placed through the phone app over the carrier's IMS network rather than an app.

Carrier video calling (ViLTE) is not on iPhones: their carrier settings have no switch for it.

Questions

Why does Carrier video calling (ViLTE) depend on my phone?

Carrier settings differ by phone: Google ships them per Pixel; Samsung ships them per Galaxy firmware. The same carrier can offer a feature on newer phones and not on older ones, or the other way round.

Where do these answers come from?

From the carrier settings shipped for each carrier, read for each Pixel and Galaxy. Some features also need your plan to include them; those show as available.
