Just activated a Moto Z Play (Verizon) and trying to set it up similar to my old phone. Coming from a HTC M7. On the M7 I had a shortcut that would directly take me to the message app to text a specific contact. Likewise, I had shortcuts to directly call a work or mobile number.
I cannot figure out how to do this on the Z Play and surely there must be a method. I see I can go to the Contacts, and select a particular contact and add them to the Homescreen, but this is not what I'm trying to do. That just pulls up all of their contact info. I want a shortcut that will directly text or call a specific contact.
When I try and search the net for a guide I see some hits saying you can add shortcuts to contacts by holding the screen, then dragging the app to the window, but I still cannot figure out how to accomplish what I'm doing and I cannot recall how I did it on my M7, and I'm sure it couldn't have been an HTC specific feature.
Please help!
