Android: activate call waiting - how it works

On Android, you can activate the call waiting function in the phone options. This gives you an advisory tone when someone calls you while you are on the phone, so that you never miss an important call.

Activate the call waiting function on Android smartphones

Contrary to what you might expect, you will not find the call waiting function on Android in the Settings app. Instead, you have to activate the feature elsewhere.

1. Open the phone app on your Android smartphone.
2. There, tap on the menu icon with the three horizontal bars and select the "Call settings" option.
3. Scroll down a bit until you find the entry "Additional Settings".
4. There you activate the "Call waiting" option.
