Feature Request: Show all history for a specific contact

Open Rafee-M opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

It'd be really useful if an option could be added to show all the previous call history for that specific contact.

I just spent quite some time trying to find out how do I get to see the call history for a contact of mine. After some frustrating moments, I tried to find the user guide for the program, but apparently there's no such thing (which is a clear deficiency in my eyes). I think that if the call history (per caller) doesn't exist, you should inform users (also possible future ones) clearly about that (and about other possible missing features that people may expect to see). The reason is that programs like these are meant to make people's lives easier, not harder. Searching for something in vain belongs to "harder" category.

theres like a million missing features, we cannot write a list... I personally never in my life needed a contact specific history.

Thank you for your quick reply. I understand what you say, but mentioning at least the basic ones (I consider this one to be pretty basic) would be useful from the point of view of potential and beginning users. I have used this feature relatively often on the Google dialer, and it has been quite useful. People have different needs, of course, but I'd say if you'd do a poll, many people would tell they consider this feature useful.

A simple use case is when you need to know who said what, to whom and when. This feature may help with the "when" part a lot.

I'm strongly agreed with the original post.

It would be a perfect feature for the app! A very useful one.
