expo-direct-call

Overview

The expo-direct-call is a React Native Expo library that simplifies the process of placing calls on both Android and iOS platforms. On Android, it allows you to place a direct call without any user prompt by asking for permissions and using the system dialer. On iOS, it shows the user a system prompt to confirm the call.

The library exposes a single directCall method, which returns a Promise that resolves when the call action is completed.

  })}
