Hey guys. Small question, if I either calling to a number or messaging to a number from thunkable app option, it opens the dialer or the messaging app with the number given and the text that was given but it’s not actually calling or messaging(A button needs to be pressed for that), I know that it might be not related to Thunkable since the messaging and calling is done from the dialer and messaging app, but is there a way to make the app to actual call and messaging or not? Thanks alot! ---

This is a security feature from the operating system. You can use third party apps to do it such as twilio for messaging or API end points to accomplish it. ---
