¡Hola, @drinktigermilk!
Unfortunately, this is the first post that I've seen around the Support Community regarding WiFi calling taking a back seat to cellular after updating to Pie. We're still working to get answers on why this is happening and what we can do to fix it. In the meantime, we're using this thread: Official Android 9.0 Pie Discussion Thread to track user-reported issues related to Pie. When we have more info, we'll be sure to post it over on the linked thread.
under advance wifi, (3 little dots to the upper right) when you are on the wifi list of available wifi’s, on your phone. make sure wifi is priority over mobile calls and data calls. (only if wifi is gone, it goes to mobile) make sure anything “aggressive” is turned off, such us if “weak signal from wifi is low” it would switch to mobile to fast. turn off wifi scanning.
just anything that favors wifi calling over mobile, first.
if you see under advance wifi, switch to mobile data and its off, turn it on, then hit the little 3 dots.keep aggressive mode off, like i said. but under excluded wifi make sure your personal wifi is selected. so that it wont connect to mobile, when you still want the wifi calling feature on.
