Direct text gone

[Corwin1002]

I've always liked the direct text and direct call widgets. They are very time-saving. With the S25 it looks like they got rid of the direct text widget, though they kept the direct dial. I can't think of a reason in the world. I hope it comes back in an update.

THIS! I always had the combo call/text contact widget for my wife front and center on my previous phones. I'm crushed. They gotta give us this one back. PLEEEEEASE

You can also choose 'view contact info' instead of direct dial and then add that to the home screen. Then you get the full contact record which allows you to access text, calling, etc.
