quick dial option gone?

[Steven Houser1]

On my S4 I was able to create a button through contacts that allowed me to call my wife with a single tap. Very convenient. I do not see that option now in contacts on the S7 (or perhaps gone in marshmallow?). Is this option hidden elsewhere or gone? Any apps to simulate the effect?

Quick DIAL option, sorry. Cannot seem to edit title...

It's still there. You have to long-press on a blank spot on one of your home pages, then select "Widgets." From there, find the "Contacts" widget folder; there are three options: Contact info, Direct Dial, and Direct Message. Just select (long-press) over the DirectDial shortcut, and place it on the home page.

There was also once a widget available out there that when you clicked on the contact widget it would then expand to give you options such as dial, message, or maps. Am I completely mistaken about that widget? Perhaps it is a different flavor of Android that I had back in the day?
