I thought maybe someone have posted something about this topic, but I can't find it... In the current version's People app, we need to enter the details page of someone to make a call or send SMS. It is even more inconvenient than make a call through Phone app, in which we can just tap once to make a call. Suggestion: add "call" and "send SMS" button on the right of the name. If there are more than one number, show a number list. For the favourites, tap on their image to make a call instead of entering their profile would be better.

Update:maybe a right pulley menu for making calls and a left pulley menu for sending SMS would be better.(thanks to chemist)

I'm not sure what you mean, at least for me it works the following way; I touch a letter in "people" app, and a list of contacts starting with that letter open, I touch a name and get the SMS & Call buttons.

@juiceme add the buttons to the right of the name so that we can call without "touch a name and get the SMS&Call buttons".

The beauty of SailfishOS is that it is clutter-free and does not follow Buttons! Buttons Everywhere! design "philosophy" of other OSes.

@smoku I'm sorry for my lack of consideration.I've edited the post.

Yeah. I like the idea i.e pull the contact right to call, pul left to send SMS. The only issue I see is to how to give visual clue, that these actions are possible? :/

How about pulling entries to the sides to make calls or send texts (prevent use of buttons please). That could be the same in call log.
