As of now, once you see person's name, you click and then have choice of text messaging Or phoning, and then you click that choice. I know you can set a speed dial by assigning number to a name, but I rather see a name and click once and phone connect.

Samsung used to have it set to swipe right to call and swipe left to message, but apparently Samsung thought that was to easy, so they got rid of that and now you get to do all the steps you just listed.

Edit... You do have that swipe capability, have to turn it on in settings offer advanced features, swipe to call

I have that feature i.e. swiping right to call and swiping left to text on my contacts.

On the note 8? Mine isn't working. I'll go play with it.


Edit... That feature was turned off in my settings. I found it this time, couldn't find it the first time. Thank you, I loved that feature and was not happy I lost it.
