We've built a brand-new app called Telephony. It replaces three separate apps - Calling, Messaging, and Contacts - with a single, consistent, user-friendly interface, plus a ton of new features and bug fixes. It is shipping with FuriOS 14.1.0 and it's a completely rewritten telephony stack.
This is not an incremental update: Calls, Messages, and Contacts have been rebuilt from the ground up, now above or on par with GNOME Calls, Chatty, and Contacts and with a built-in Telephony CLI across all three apps and significantly improved launch speed and scrolling performance.
