To those of you who have the Phone app in your dock, do you actually use it often? (alien.top)

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 don’t get what the uproar is. I don’t have the phone app on my dock. I have Messages, Safari, WhatsApp and Spotify. Hell, I could prob survive life by just having YouTube instead of Messages on the dock and just interacting with the dock lol.

I use the Phone app about 3-4 times a week and it’s on my first screen where unsurprisingly, all my most used apps are which means I’m nearly always on that screen. So for me, it’s not really an inconvenience to not have it on my dock.

Edit: I take that back, I remembered the existence of Google Maps 4 seconds after posting.
