No Whatsapp calls in the dudu7 dialer

prenx4x

In the default dialer I see my contacts and calls history. But it does not show any whatsapp calls and thus not able to call someone using whatsapp. Its strange as I see that in my iPhone call list, so I thought the dudu7 dialer would just sync that list,but somehow the list filters out and takes in only direct call history.
Is there any other dialer app that supports whatsapp calls or any plans to support it in the stock dialer app?

Technically, this functionality is not achievable, and WhatsApp does not provide such SDK interfaces. Your phone's Bluetooth also lacks the permission to access WhatsApp data, making it impossible to transmit it to others via Bluetooth. WhatsApp only authorizes Bluetooth for voice calls and media/music playback channels.
We can only provide standard phone contact synchronization functionality.

You miss one thing. Your iPhone dialer shows all contacts, but your iphone dialer can't dial whatsapp contacts either. Apple doesn’t allow third-party apps like WhatsApp to integrate that deeply with the system dialer.
Showing the contacts is not the same as dial the contacts.

No, it absolutely does. The dialer not only shows my recent whatsapp calls but I can also call through the default dialer using whatsapp.
In apple for any contacts, the call and message options will list all possible options like phone call/sms, facetime/imessage, whatsapp or any other app. It is deeply integrated in the contacts functionality.

That's exactly right. I hadn't thought of that.

prenx4x that's correct. Contact app will show all possible methods and it's fine as on the phone you can call on WhatsApp.
All android headunits have always Bluetooth contact sharing which phones share only standard phones, same with any other even non android headunit. That's the Bluetooth procotol and it cannot be otherwise. Besides, even if you had WhatsApp calls listed, it won't connect as the Bluetooth calls use different protocol (calls) , and WhatsApp calls use, to explain plainly headset mode (so it's audio).
