Making phone call during activity

Hi all,

Unless I'm missing something, the only way I can make a phone call during an activity is to use a Voice Command (since the Apps/Activities menu [Phone app] can't be reached during an activity), and then ask for "Phone", which then works.

For such an important function that could be safety-related, it would be good to be able to do this without having to rely on a Voice Command!

I think a solution would be to make the Phone app available in the Control menu, as Assistance already is.  There's already a Phone option in the Control menu, but this only allows control of the watch-phone BT connection.

Perhaps another option would be to make it a shortcut option for one of the buttons?  The current shortcut Phone option is the watch-phone BT connection again...!

  • Hello,

    I have the same issue, not able to add phone shortcut for control menu, only solution is as you describe voice command - "phone" or  "contacts".

    another problem is that you can type messages for assistance with on-screen T-9 keyboard but cant reply to standard messages with keyboard
