OnePlus: Turn Call Waiting On or Off

If a second call comes in while you are already on a call with your OnePlus phone, call waiting decides whether you get notified at all. Without it enabled, incoming calls during an active conversation go straight to a busy signal or voicemail. Some users also find the alert tone during calls distracting and want to turn it off entirely.

Enable or Disable Call Waiting auf OnePlus

Call waiting on OnePlus phones controls what happens when a second call arrives while you are already talking to someone. With the function enabled, you hear a short tone and can choose to reject the new call, put your current call on hold, or switch between both. With it disabled, any second caller hears a busy signal or gets sent directly to voicemail, and you never see an on-screen notification about the incoming call.

This setting lives inside the calling accounts of the Phone app, not in the general system settings. On dual SIM devices, each SIM card has its own independent call waiting toggle, so enabling it for one line does not affect the other.

To change it, open Open the Phone appOpen the menuOpen the SettingsTap on Calling accountsChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Tap on Additional settingsEnable or disable Call waiting.

Turn it off if you want zero interruptions during calls, for example while recording audio or in meetings. Turn it on if you rely on catching urgent second calls, such as for work or family emergencies. Note that call waiting depends on carrier network support in some regions, so if the toggle has no effect, check with your carrier first.
