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?
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.
