This is less of a "oh it's just a bug" and more of a federal compliance issue.
- asiachick 5y agofortunately I can't "dial" anything on my smartphone. it doesn't have a "dial" https://www.google.com/search?q=dial+phone https://www.google.com/search?q=dial+phone Serious, the cryptic statement could mean your message above should have called 911 instead of letting you enter the digits 9, 1, 1 into a message

What's "making a phone call" is no longer clear. I "call my friends" via zoom/meet/fb messenger/line/slack/discord. I don't use phone numbers to call people. are all those varied services required to handle 911? I can "call people" via dating apps. Are the also required to handle this situation?
