Privacy Policy for QuickDial for WA

Last updated: April 24, 2026

QuickDial for WA is an Android app with two on-device shortcuts:

• It can show a floating call shortcut inside a personal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business chat, allowing you to open the phone dialer for that person.

• It can show a floating WhatsApp shortcut during a phone call, or shortly after a call ends, allowing you to open WhatsApp for that same person.

QuickDial is designed to work entirely on-device and only opens system apps after you tap a shortcut.

What QuickDial Accesses

Accessibility Access

QuickDial uses Android Accessibility only for the WhatsApp chat shortcut.

It checks the visible top bar and message composer area inside WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business to:

• Read the visible chat title displayed there

QuickDial does not use Accessibility to:

• Take screenshots

• Send messages

• Tap buttons automatically

• Perform actions inside WhatsApp

Contacts

QuickDial reads contact names and phone numbers stored on your device to:

• Match a WhatsApp chat title to a saved phone number

• On top of WhatsApp chats

• On top of the phone app during or shortly after a call

Notification Access
