Call forwarding, sometimes referred to as call diverting, is a service feature that redirects incoming calls to a different number. On Android devices, this feature can be deactivated, preventing the redirection of incoming calls. For example, if call forwarding is enabled to route calls to a voicemail service, deactivation will ensure that incoming calls ring on the device instead.
Deactivating this feature is important for maintaining direct accessibility. When a user wishes to be available to receive calls directly on their Android device, disabling the redirection is crucial. Historically, call forwarding has been useful for situations where a user is temporarily unavailable, but control over this function allows for greater flexibility in call management.
