Create shortcut on Home Screen.

Android 7.0 on a Moto G5 and 7.1.2 on a Pixel C tablet. Two bugs...

1) In Contact Details long press a number, Create Shortcut to Home Screen/Direct Dial. NO shortcut is created. If you select Direct Message then a shortcut is created. This bug is not present in Android 5.1.

2) I tried to get around this bug by long-pressing the Contact in the Contacts Display, then... More/Create shortcut to Home screen. This does place a shortcut but it points to the default/stock Contact Details display instead of the required DWP Contact Details. This bug is also present in Android 5.1.

Hi, devin!
How are You?
Is it possible to implement such behavior of desktop created shortcut? Tap on shortcut => call contact`s default number or open contact`s phone numbers list instead of display DW Contact details?
Best regards!

Hi, Grass!
You can implement the first function by creating a shortcut to dial a phone number directly.
These two functions can be achieved if you use the contact widget.
