Phone app: what happened to favorites shortcut with long press?

Hopefully it will be easier for both to make a comeback in that case.

Mind you, I don't know either way if that is true, but seems like it could be. Maybe I'm just hopeful

I don't think it's the same, with the phone app I only have a single icon on my screen which means it's much less cluttered. I'm definitely aware there are many ways to easily add contacts through different apps and such, I just really liked having control over that with a single app icon. Apple values the long press actions on may of it's apps, that's why I'm confused something as useful as this was deprecated.

Check my earlier app suggestion that has that long press action option for 4 contacts. It's not the best app but it has what you ask for.

I think in this particular case with it being a 3D/Haptic Touch action on the app (icon), it's somewhat different from the widgets. It can certainly change and make a return, especially since similar actions are still there for the Messages app (icon), for example, but hard to say if that will be the case and/or if it will be associated in some way with the similar although separate widget (which isn't there so far).

Haptic touch is just a long press with a vibration, no 3d touch on my iphone 11. I still see haptic functionality was retained in other apps such as text, and the phone app still has a haptic menu, it's just missing the favorites now. I hope it makes it's way back.

Thanks, I wasn't aware it had a long press menu, I will definitely try it out!
