Make 3CX calls on the road with the new iOS App.​

Great work.

Any updates on WatchKit? I would love for the app to notify me on my watch. I sometimes miss incoming calls because they only ring the phone, only the missed call notification hits the watch.

Good job. Will you improve functions like this for Google assistant on Android, too?

I love it. The only thing else to add is Q sign in and out options so we don’t have to remember the dial codes.

If they can add watch features, even better. Even for starters a message in watch showing that there is an incoming call. Right now on the watch it just shows missed calls.

I would like to mention here a new feature of the iPhone client we've added due to CarPlay support:

Decline call with message
When you have an incoming call and the CallKit UI is in full display (see the screenshot) there is a Message button it shows. If you tap it and chose a message, then the call is dropped and the 3CX client will (attempt to) send a chat message to the caller.
We'll document it on the upcoming 3CX client release.

Is there also integration planned for Andorid Auto?

Wonderful!

Anything available for Android Auto?

Android Auto integration is planned but it involves Google allowing us access like Apple did for Carplay. So its a process. We are pushing and making some progress but we need clearance first.

I’d love to see a dialer in the 3CX app like the built in phone app. I often find it easier to dial an extension directly than to get Siri to understand what call I’m trying to make. Is this something on the roadmap for the iOS app?

Unfortunately, cannot be implemented, Apple does not provide a dialpad template for CarPlay.
