How do I make a mobile number clickable in Power Apps Canvas apps?

I have form with a text input for mobile number. The idea is to open the phone app to dial when the phone icon is clicked.

It’s actually pretty easy. A small trick is all you need.

OnSelect of the Phone icon, use the following code.

Set(phNumber, "tel:" & txtPhoneNumber.Text);
Launch(phNumber);

Well that’s it. Now when you click the phone icon, the app will redirect you to your default calling app.

Simple and yet useful I guess.

Hope this helped!
