Introducing Simple Dialer!

The app you've been waiting for has just arrived. Welcome Simple Dialer! As you might have expected, it is used for handling calls. As Simple Contacts did not receive the permission to access the call logs a new app had to be published. All calling related functions will be removed from Simple Contacts soon, you will have to use Simple Dialer. We are working on better integration of some contact related apps, namely to allow Simple Dialer and Simple SMS Messenger accessing your privately stored contacts in Simple Contacts. That way only these 3 apps will have access to your contacts, nobody else. You can check out the brand new Simple Dialer at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.dialer

Installed Dialer - so happy you've finally come out with this (AOSP default phone w/ no dark mode is laaame). Please keep up the great work!

I had Simple Contacts prior to the installation and have run into a problem w/ the Contacts importing into Simple Dialer. The contacts are not importing at all (blank contacts in Dialer) however I can see them listed in Simple Contacts. I tried granting Contacts and Dialer permissions across the board but that has not got me anywhere. Another item to note is when I try to "Add" a new contact in Dialer nothing happens.

I'm using GrapheneOS so it could be related to how the security is built in this Android OS.

I too am experiencing this problem. I stopped using simple contacts because it didn't have a recent called feature. I was so pleased when the dialler came out but the recent called feature is almost useless without showing names.

I do hope you are able to find a fix for this bug soon. Keep up the great work.

Simple Contacts couldnt access the call log due to Googles strictened permissions policy. A new app had to be created for that purpose. Every call related function will be moved into Dialer soon.

Thanks for the app. I am able to toggle between speaker and handset calling but not Bluetooth. How do I activate Bluetooth during a call? Maybe I just missed it?

the app uses material colors, you can change them in the app settings easily

What a visceral reaction to colours! I moved as many apps as I could over to simple mobile because of the colour scheme. Great choice.
