Disable Phone on Stock Messaging App

[dartmanx]

Almost every time I text someone, then put the phone down, my thumb hits the button and causes the phone to dial the person I was just texting. It makes me incredibly angry.

How do I disable this "feature" in the S9 stock messaging app?

Settings>advanced features>gestures... Do you have this toggled on by any chance?

Turn this off.
