Want to copy the number into the clipboard to call it later, call it from a different app, or forward it to somebody else? Tough luck.
- MaintenanceMode 11mo agoOccasionally, if you're lucky enough, an option to copy the phone number shows up, it seems like completely at the whim of the OS. And that's after accidentally starting to dial the number, of course.
- furyofantares 11mo agoThere are a few options available if you press and hold it (Call, Message, Add to Existing Contact, Create New Contact, Delete). I feel this only make the fact that tapping calls without confirmation more annoying though.
- lxgr 11mo agoThat's assuming there is something I can press and hold, e.g. a phone number displayed in Safari or an email. Some apps seem to call some "make a phone call now" API, and that opens a modal pop-up with exactly two options – make the call or don't. One workaround is to take a screenshot of the number being displayed, but... Come on, Apple.
