I’m so glad I’m out if the apple ecosystem. It’s nice I guess, but there’s just so many weird unforgivable choices they make. Like the inability to turn off opening links in an application. I was so thankful that Firefox Focus didn’t respect them. It got to a point where I just deleted apps that suddenly got opened because I clicked on a link in Safari or whatever. I think I remember it happening in private mode too. And on other applications. Does Apple think all of our accounts are tied to our real name or something? I thought they were good at this privacy stuff.
On Android it asks me nearly all the time. Not sure about the mechanism but its much better either way.
It’s just a phone number on the website. It’s macOS/iOS that decides that clicking a phone number should open FaceTime, and the restaurant has nothing to do with this - they just put their phone number on their website.
“Only Apple users can make reservations here.”
Also, I’m not sure what a video call would achieve. Surely that’s less efficient for them?
I recently got a Mac for work and noticed that
tel:links open FaceTime by default.I don’t know if there is a way to change that but it’s fucking annoying.
Ahh… typical Apple anti-user-experience.

Ah, so it’s Apple’s fault. That makes sense.
I have an idea, but you may not like it…
I love it, but my company will not.
If it were up to me I’d be fully on Linux for work. Everything I do is on a browser anyway.
Maybe they want to discriminate.
IPhone users won’t dispute the check
