Real-Time Text (RTT) is a feature on Android devices that transmits text characters as they are typed, allowing for immediate communication during calls. Disabling this accessibility function can be achieved within the device’s settings menu. For example, if an individual prefers traditional voice communication or uses a third-party application for text relay, they may choose to turn off this built-in feature.
Deactivating the RTT function can streamline the call interface for users who do not require or desire real-time text transmission. Historically, this feature was introduced to improve communication accessibility for individuals with hearing or speech impairments, providing a more fluid and direct text-based conversation. However, for those who do not benefit from this immediate text relay, disabling it can simplify the calling experience and potentially reduce unnecessary data usage.
