Feature description
When opening the dialpad and start typing a phone number, a list of possible candidates from your contacts is shown. It would be great to include the numbers from the History
tab, which are not associated with any contact.
Why do you want this feature?
IHMO there are four ways, how the phone app is used:
- You know the name of the person you want to call. You look it up in the
Contacts
tab and dial that number. - You select the person from the
Favourite
tab. - If you remember, that you used the number/were called from a certain number recently, you go to the
History
tab and search for that number. That is especially useful, if the number is not saved in a contact. - You know the number, e.g. jotted down on a piece of paper, and start typing it in the dialpad.
In case 4 a list of possible completions is displayed. This is a great feature to check the number. Here it would be great if all numbers from the history tab which are not connected to any contact are also included in the list. Then you see immediately, if that number were previously used and you don't have to finish typing that number – you simply select it.
Alternatively you could start typing the number in the search field in the History
tab. The problem is, that if you haven't used that number before, you have to switch to the dialpad and start all over again typing it in.
