The recent dock sharing post surprised me because of how many people had the Phone app in the dock.
I personally open it maybe once a month if I have to call a number I don’t have in my phone and if I call anyone I know it’s just through the Messages app since it’s all right there on the contact. Because of this I haven’t had the phone app on my dock for years.
Am I generally alone in this or were non Phone app users just not very present in that thread?
I use the phone often, maybe daily, but it’s. It in my dock. I have several apps that supersede the phone
My Phone app is buried in a folder on the second page of apps. Only time I ever use it is when someone makes the mistake of calling me and I have to check the transcript of the voicemail to see what it was about.
Phone is one of the last reach for me. Only for those at the fringe of smartphones and still thinking a phone as a voice calling device.
The phone app has always been in the bottom left on my dock and probably always will be. But, honestly no… I’ve had my phone for 2 years and only have 11 hours logged of actual phone calls. I usually really prefer to message people. For longer chats with friends elsewhere in the world, I usually use Discord instead. Actual phone calls are usually reserved for situations where I need an answer right away and/or my hands are full.
I’ve noticed this seems to be a bit of a cultural/social circle thing. Some people seem to always be on the phone and treat that as the default way to talk to people… other people are more like me, I guess, and only use it in very specific situations.
A lot of people have tech illiterate parents and other relatives, so regular cellular phone calls still take place.
er, yes? To make phone calls and stuff.
Are you saying your make voice calls through messages or you just text instead of speaking?
I feel so old right now.
Nope, phone app is nowhere near my top 4 most used apps. Probably not even top 10
Yep! I call my mom, my grandma, and other family, quick access to the dialer for calls I need to make, etc.
If it’s somewhere else, I would be lost trying to find it and just ask Siri. lol
Yes I do. I mostly call and hardly message. My work also mostly involves phone calls. No one responds on time to messages and most of the time they ask me why I didn’t call if it was important. So calls. Or WhatsApp calls.
yep. some of us old timers still use the phone :)
No we have it in the dock because we never use it
Always thought this was kinda strange too haha I make like 4 calls a week, and half of those I use siri to make. Hasn’t been on my dock in years
I call my husband sometimes and my parents occasionally so yes, it’s in my dock. It was also there automatically when I got my first iphone and I can only assume when I transfer my old data to a new phone that the format remains.
I noticed that is easier to just swipe down on screen then search name to who I want to call and then click name than open phone app for calling
I have my husband and parents saved as favourites in my phone app so I don’t have to type anything at all, I just open app, switch to favourites list, and tap on them.
If I call my mum I swipe down tap ma and click call button. If I want to call my gf I swipe down and tap so and click call button. I don’t think that I need tap so much more than you do?
