Wouldn’t it be better for apps on mainstream OSes to be both able and required to use OS facilities for that? I mean, it’s not as if Android doesn’t have a solution for this. Why should Android apps have to (redundantly and almost certainly incorrectly) implement this when the OS already does? Yeah a tablet isn’t a phone. But it’s running a phone OS.

I don't know, maybe your right, but should tablet makers be required to add VoIP calling capability strictly for emergency calls? All this is hypothetical, because I have no idea what I'm talking about and it's 2am here lol

If Teams has the capability, so does the tablet right? If it’s running Android, it’s already built for them. But more importantly, if it’s running Android I think this should be Google’s responsibility, not the manufacturer.

Edit: I’m sincerely not trying to come across combative and I appreciate you engaging this. If I’m frank it’s only because I’m trying to make my assumptions and expectations of the OS vendor clear
