In this guide, we will show you the steps to enable VoLTE and VoWiFi on your Pixel 8 Pro. The former feature allows you to make calls directly via carrier data whereas the latter one allows you to do so via WiFi. VoWiFi also comes in handy in cases where the carrier network is unstable or has low strength. Not to mention the fact these calls are totally free as well!
However, owing to certain regional restrictions, one or even both of these features are not available in certain countries. But we managed to find a nifty workaround using which you could easily get this job done. So without further ado, let’s make you aware of the steps to enable VoLTE and VoWiFi on your Pixel 8 Pro.

How to Enable VoLTE and VoWiFi on Pixel 8 Pro
- Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Then download and install the Shizuku app from Play Store.
- Now go to Settings > System > About Phone > tap on Build Number 7 times.
- Then go to System > Developer options > enable USB Debugging.
- Now connect your device to your PC via a USB cable.
- Then open the Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
- You should now see Shizuku is running. Now download and install the PixelIMS app on your device.
- Now launch PixelIMS and tap on “Allow all the time” under the Shizuku prompt that appears.
- Then turn on the toggle next to “Enable VoLTE” and “Enable VoWiFi”.
- Restart your device for the changes to take place [optional but recommended].
- While this will surely make the VoLTE up and running, some users still had issues with VoWiFi.
- If that is the case with your device as well, then install this Enable VoLTE app.
- Then launch it and enable VoWiFi from within the app. That’s it. VoWiFi is now enabled.
How to Verify if VoLTE/VoWiFi is Enabled on Pixel 8/Pro
There are two different methods of getting this job done: either from the IMS app or from the dialer.
Via PixelIMS App
- Launch the PixelIMS app and check out the IMS Status.
- If it shows Registered, then VoLTE is enabled on your Pixel 8/Pro.
Via Dialer Code
- Bring up the dialer and type in the below code:
*#*#4636#*#*
- Then tap on the overflow icon and select “IMS Service Status”.
- You should now see IMS Registration: Registered signifying that VoLTE is enabled.
- If that is not the case, then you’ll have to manually create an IMS APN first, as explained below.
How to Manually Create IMS APN
If you are still unable to enable VoLTE/VoWiFi, then you should manually create the IMS APN for your Pixel 8/Pro. Here’s how it could be done:
- Head over to Settings > Network and Internet > Internet.
- Then tap on the settings icon next to your SIM card.
- Now select Access Point Names and hit the plus icon at the top right.
- Create this APN as follows:
Name: IMS APN: ims APN type: ims APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
- Once done, retry the aforementioned process and check out the results.
