Making a phone call from within an Powerapp App

[Jason_Hough]

Hi there

I am testing a button that has this code onSelect :

Launch("tel:01162102020")

That should call the user , but this doesnt work on an Iphone7. It just launchs Safari and doesnt do anything.

Any help would be brilliant.

Hi @Jason_Hough,

I have reproduced this issue on my iPhone6 too. The same app works for Android. I will try to involve pg to look into this issue. Thanks for your report.

Regards,

Mona

Hi @Jason_Hough,

Just saw another thread talking about the similar issue and it seems that pg has already known this and is working on a fix.

I have got it to work...

I have used tel:// instead of tel:

Please check but this is the solution.
