Google Chrome has quietly removed the click to call feature for Android users. The feature allowed users to click on a phone number on a website and have the call automatically routed to their phone. The click to call feature was first introduced in Chrome in 2014. It was a popular feature, as it made it easy for users to make calls without having to open a separate app. However, Google has decided to remove the click to call feature for a number of reasons. One reason is that the feature was not being used very often. A study by Google found that only 2% of users were using the click to call feature.
Another reason for the removal is that the feature was not very secure. The click to call feature relied on a third-party service to route calls. This made it possible for malicious websites to intercept calls and collect user data. Google has also cited privacy concerns as a reason for the removal of the click to call feature. The feature required users to share their phone number with Google. This could be a privacy concern for some users.
The removal of the click to call feature has been met with mixed reactions from users. Some users are disappointed that the feature has been removed, while others believe that it was not a very useful feature. Google has not yet announced any plans to replace the click to call feature. However, there are a number of third-party apps that offer similar functionality. The removal of the click to call feature from Google Chrome is a disappointment for some users.
