Apple

Making calls through the Messages app is like sending messages through the Telephone app

The Phone app to me is like a fire extinguisher: I don’t use it every day but when I do, it’s usually an emergency and I wanna make sure it’s where I left it.

I use the phone often, maybe daily, but it’s. It in my dock. I have several apps that supersede the phone

It’s down there but I don’t use it often, but if I need to make a call, it’s a lot faster than trying to find it in a folder or searching for it.

It’s called a phone

I don’t use it for that purpose often, but that’s still primarily what I see it as.

FaceTime, messages, phone, and contacts on my dock.

After all, it is a phone. Lol.

Always.

even if i don't use it all the time, it just feels like sacrilege to move it. i've always had phone and text next to each other and camera on the right. and usually a browser in between.

taking the phone icon out just feels super weird.

All this comment section really does is show username age. “Looking to dial a number is exhausting that’s why it’s always docked.” Bro swipe down search phone.

I use it daily. It's quicker to open the phone app and tap a speed dial contact than any other option(besides widgets but that's ugly IMO).

My dock has remained the same for like 10 years.

phone, messages, signal (this spot has changed), settings.

I just like having the core functions of the phone always there.

Phone, Maps, and Messages are the apps in my dock and will be for the foreseeable future.

Great question. I’m about to remove my SIM card from my phone cause I just don’t use that app lol.

Anyone who doesn’t do phone calls should rethink that. You get instant feedback, there is no written record, and you don’t have to awkwardly look at someone’s face.
