Here's a blog post that further showcases what's new in version 3.3. 



I noticed one thing I had trouble with and not sure if it's a feature or a bug. When viewing a contact I can see the phone numbers, but I can't dial them or even copy them to dial manually. Kinda pointless on a phone...

 




That isn't intentional. We had designed it in such a way that if you tap on it, it'd either take you to Freshdesk's phone dialer or your phone's dialer. This looks like a bug, we'll look at it right away.




Thanks Shankar - Nexus 5X w Android 6 (Marshmallow). I'll try a couple of other android devices and see if maybe it's device specific. I'll also remove and re-install the app in case something got corrupted.

 




What happens when you tap on the number, Keith? If it doesn't take you to the dialer, can you email me the phone number? I think it's an issue with phone number formats.
