Long-Press Menu Missing "Map" & "Call"

Angstromm · Apr 25, 2022

On my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, running Android ver. 9, when I Long-Press on a phone number or address the popup menu doesn’t show the option to call (number) or to map (open Google Maps for address), but displays all the other options (Copy, Select all, Web Search, Share…).

Ideas?

Thanks!!!

is this from your web browser? if so which one are you using? or is this from emails or texts?

Thanks for the reply/question.

This problem happens in any app that I've tired. Examples above are from ColorNote.

Have you recently been fiddling with Bixby? I have same issue with my S22 Ultra and I haven't switched Bixby on...yet.

Well maybe you can put that in your contact and call them up that way...

Hmmm have you tried Samsung Notes that's included in your Note 8?

On my z fold 3 if I type a number in Samsung Notes and long press it, I get the call option.

Thanks for the reply. The issue isn't app-specific. The issue occurs in any/all apps.

I think what Milo is trying to say is that the function you want may be a Bixby function!

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I have another, newer Samsung phone with Bixby turned off (don't care for it) and this feature still works, so I'm guessing that it's not a Bixby-based function.

I usually sleep in on Tues. and Thurs. I do have a side occupation that pretty much tackles in my other days too, also I am a writer too, so please excuse me if I seem a bit loopy

Ha, I'm a writer as well, and have taught Creative Writing classes for many years--a major passion of mine. So, scribble on and be as loopy as you want/need to be!

I've don creative writing toooo. Ufortunately for me I am much to dry from humour, and a simple left field doesn't cover it.

When you mix a new sauce it can take many moons for the local Hebrew to become acustom to the taste.

Not so much. I've had work published in some literary journals, anthologies, etc. Working on a book-length collection. Some of my work has appeared online, but that was a long time ago. Doubt it's still up.
