Theres plenty of situations where this doesn't work. If you're called from a business central line and you don't know their extension you just call back and get the normal call tree which can take you forever to get through. Or if you're on the "cancellation list" for an appointment if they can't get through to you, they don't wait for you to call back, they just go on to the next person to schedule in their open slot.
Taxi cab dispatchers will do this for sure. They do callbacks to “confirm” your ride, especially when busy, because if you don’t answer, they simply drop your request on the sticky office floor.
this is a loss of business for them, not my problem. it is 2025, if they do not have map where i can track where they are etc.. imma not going to be using that service...
So this app that millions of people use, probably most of the ~1.4 billion iPhone users… instead of making some minor edits to the settings to make it better for a lot of people, the solution is we all just need to use the app the way you do?
Not even going to consider that some people are more phone dependent and not just fielding an occasional call from their lost dasher or uber driver. Overly simplistic view on the world, you need to think beyond your use cases and make software that is beneficial to the entire user base. It’s the whole point of having a settings section of the app, to allow some custom behaviors tailored to your needs and some you won’t use because they are tailored towards someone else’s needs
