How it works

Three steps. After that, every call is one tap.

  1. Pick your people

    Choose your favourite contacts from your phone's address book.

  2. Add to home screen

    Open the three-dot menu next to a contact, choose Add to home screen and confirm. Make the widget wider for separate voice and video buttons.

  3. Tap it, the call starts

    One tap on the widget starts the WhatsApp voice or video call. Nothing to open, nothing to search.

InstaDial needs WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business installed, and the person saved in your phone's contacts. You can also touch and hold your home screen, tap Widgets, find InstaDial and drag out One-tap call.

Everything built around one tap

The home-screen button comes first. The rest of the app helps you find the right person fast.

Core feature

The one-tap call widget

Put a person on your home screen as a round photo button. Tap it and the WhatsApp call starts. Choose voice or video when you add it, or stretch it wider for separate voice and video buttons.

  • No opening WhatsApp
  • No searching through chats
  • Works with WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business

On your home screen

Pick the shape that suits your phone.

Widget sizes

1 × 1 is a round photo button for one person. Stretch it to 2 × 1 and up for separate voice and video buttons, or to 2 × 2 for a large photo with both buttons.

Favourites widget

Your whole speed dial in one grid on your home screen, up to 12 people. It starts at 4 × 2 and you can resize it to fit your layout.

App-icon shortcut

A photo icon the size of an app icon, if you prefer that to a widget.

Quick calls from the app icon

Press and hold the InstaDial icon to call your first four favourites.

Also inside

In the app, for finding the right person fast.

Favourites as big photo tiles

Your favourite people on one screen, each with a default voice or video call. Drag to reorder so the people you call most sit at the top.

Smart search, swipe to call

Search across names and numbers, and small typos are forgiven. Swipe right on a contact for a voice call, left for a video call.

Recents

See the calls you started from InstaDial and call back in one tap.

WhatsApp Business support

Calls go through WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, whichever your contact uses. Regular phone calls open your dialer when you need them.

Large tiles, confirm before calling

Switch on larger tiles and a confirm step before each call. Ideal for parents and grandparents.

Light and dark themes

Follows your phone's light or dark theme, in the app and in your widgets.

Set it up once. They just tap.

Your parents or grandparents do not need to find an app, scroll a list or open a chat. Put a widget with a familiar face on their home screen and the call is one tap away.

  • Bigger tilesOptional large tiles that are easy to hit.
  • Confirm before callingA quick check before the call, so a stray tap does not ring anyone.

Private by design

No internet permission. No ads. No tracking.

InstaDial reads your contacts on your phone, to show you who you can call. Your contacts never leave it. Nothing is collected, uploaded, sold or shared.

  • No internet permission

    The app has no way to send data over the network, so your contacts stay on your phone.

  • No ads

    No banners, no pop-ups and nothing to tap by accident.

  • No tracking

    No analytics, no crash-reporting SDK and no accounts to create.
