We now offer a new Dialer scanning feature for iOS devices. You can now scan a phone number by accessing your camera when trying to dial a phone number on the Dialer tab.
Please note, that the scanner will not be able to decipher a handwritten phone number if the writing is illegible. There is a known issue with users If you are trying to scan a handwritten or printed number. It can take between 10 to 15 seconds to pull the number and we have heard reports that it at times won't pull the number at all. One thing you can consider is upgrading your iOS version on your phone. Version 16.3.1 has been out for a few iterations and could show some improvement when using the scanning feature. Thank you for your patience as we work on resolving this issue.
