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?
Almost daily. I have people in my favorites like my wife, mother, father(when he was alive), best friends. I look at missed calls, I check voicemails(yes, Gen Z people, voicemail, because the grown-ups still leave voicemails sometimes). To dial people in my contacts I sometimes open contacts, sometimes open the phone app.
I also have the Google voice app in my dock. For anything business - aka that’s not personal like friends and family - I use GV, and give out my GV number. I got burned with scam calls, and it was a royal pain to change phone numbers.
