Hi. I want to make icons that call or message people when I click them. What app do I need to get for this? Thank you.

Hi Jessica. Do you mean you want icons on your home screen that will automatically call or message someone without first having to go into the Phone or Message apps etc.?
If so, I would think that Workflow might be worth a look.
Sorry I can't help beyond that, I haven't yet got around to putting the work in to mastering Workflow myself.

I found an app called one tap that allows you to do what you need. It hasn't been updated since 2012 so not sure if it still works. Hope this helps.

As a previous person on this thread had already said, I would think that Workflow could do what you need it to do. If you need assistance, there is an excellent podcast on this website that can help you.
