As I said, it’s been many years since I used any such programs and even then I only tried them and didn’t find it particularly useful since for me doing 2 double taps to get to my Favourites isn’t particular bothersome (one double tap to open the Phone app and a second double tap to put focus on the Favourites tab if it doesn’t have focus already). However, if you search the app store for “speed dial” you find many options, some free, some paid, some with good ratings and some not so good, some seem to have received fairly recent updates and others haven’t been updated in years. I have no time or interest to try out half a dozen to find out if one is better than another.

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, May 3, 2020 12:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: can you put speed dial contacts on an iPhone There are many apps out there which also allow you to do this, but the original poster wondered if it is still possible to dial, for example, 1 on the dialpad and the phone would call whoever’s number you programmed on 1 as a speedial like on the old flip phones. I tried this type of dialing where you have an icon on the home screen which dials a particular contact way back in 2010 or 2011, but I personally just didn’t see a point in filling half my home screen with such quick dial icons and giving up that space for the apps I use most. I much prefer to either ask SIRI to dial or to double tap on the Phone icon, usually I have it open to my Recent Call list, but if who I want is in my Favourites list it’s easy to switch and if it’s a number I only dial infrequently it’s just as easy to find themin my contacts.

Of course if you activated the Keypad tab then the next time you open the Phone app it will be there, but the same applies for Favourites and it is just as easy or easier to swipe through your list of Favourites or drag your finger down the screen to find the one you want and double tap on it. You can even put them in the order you want with your most frequently dialed Favourites in the first few positions and you can, of course, determine which number is called, e.g. Home o rMobile, you could even have the same Favourite twice in the list, first with their Mobile and second with their Home number, you could add a Favourite so it makes a Facetime video call to them or you can even add a Favourite so when you double tap on the name it would open the Messages app with their name already in the “To” field so you could send a text message to them.

Yes, that is the fastest on an iPhone, assuming Siri is working at that moment. Favorites means, you can either open Phone, then Favorites and have all those listings right there, or you can swipe to the Today screen and have them right there, or you can do a long press or 1 finger triple tap on the phone app and have them right there.
