What's a phone call?
I get zero ring-throughs from anyone I don't know. Hell, I'd fully block phone calls except I need a tiny bit of accessibility that way.
I have spam blocker set to block all unknown contacts from my area code. I get probably 10+ spoofed calls a week but don't hear them.
At a loss who this is aimed at. Corporate? Because people who call without asking are not gonna bother with clicking a reason. (Or worse, click emergency every time because that means the other person will pick up) And people who ask already know if person is free/available/wants to talk.
It would be cool to pin a message as a reason for calling but as a goofy proprietary feature it loses its appeal
It's a good idea. I have family who insist on calling without messaging first and I feel like this helps bridge that gap a bit. This can tell me "walk out of your meeting a family member is dying" when I get a random call. A text could do the same thing but some people are just incapable of grasping that the person in the other end of the phone also has a completely separate life from theirs and may be busy.
If it gets abused then that also will be an ignored call.
