Name: Handsfree: outgoing phone calls and more (app)
Rating: 4.1 (27 reviews)
Author: Grigorii.Entin

Wearing a headset? Keeping your phone nearby/in your pocket? Accepting calls via the watch, but wondering why you can't make outgoing calls as well? Missing access to your recent calls on your watch?

Handsfree got you covered: install (and forget about) the companion app on Android, check your favorite contacts on your phone and ... you have them ready for dialing from your watch!

** To owners of previous generation of Garmin devices** (Instinct 2, Enduro/Fenix 6/Vivoactive 4/Edge 530/Forerunner 55/Descent G1 and etc):
If you own an older device and hence stuck with inability to use the app during an activity, please take a look at the *widget* variant of Handsfree, that is also available at Connect IQ - it does not have that limitation.

**Requirements**:

- Android phone (iPhone is unfortunately not supported)
- Your lovely watch or a bike computer
- A bit of patience with the initial setup of the companion app.

More info is on the project home page: https://github.com/grigorye/Handsfree

**Known limitations**:

- Maximum number of favorites: 20 (5 on low-memory devices) 
- Maximum number of recents: 10 (5 on low-memory devices)
- With no headset, audio on accepting incoming call is routed to (default) output (e.g. phone ear speaker)
- Glance is static on low-memory devices, shows only the app name

**Beta-testers wanted!**

If you're interested in joining the beta (and speedup getting the companion app into Google play store), please reach to me or send a request to join the dedicated Google group (https://groups.google.com/g/handsfree-beta) - I'd really appreciate that.

**Installing companion app without Google Play**

If you don't want or can not use Google Play, you can install the (Android) companion app from the page below:
