Try the call through the Web Viewer with a zero size.

The code in the first block is:

`data:text/html,<meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/><body onload="document.getElementById('myLink').click()"><div id="myLink" onclick="location.href='tel:`

Of course, you can make calls easier.

Instead of WebViewer.URL, you can use the “open link” block.

Thank you for your answer! When do you think that the next thunable updates for iOs will come out and also the possibility to download the file for the iOs app?

Hi,

In a blog you want to put it? This blog has the API?

Your image data: protocol used. It will not work on iOS app installed. I use this protocol only when working with Live.

If you need a data exchange between the WebViewer and App, you can do so using Firebase. This specific solution is to scrFramework7 project.

Just FYI (not sure if it suits your particular need) There’s a built-in `call` block in the Share component
