I’ve made phone numbers in the header, body and the footer. Made them in simple text mode.
When I click from my phone on these phone numbers, I have a message on the screen:

“Block of calls automatic initiation is installed on this site” and two options:
Ignore and Allow.
If I use Ignore – message disappear and if I click the phone number – appears again.
If I use Allow – standard message appears that allow me to make a call.

Could you please advice how to get rid of this block.

Thank you in advance.
Victoria.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! To disable phone number linking in smaller screen, since you have a child theme already, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// Remove telephone links on iOs devices
// =============================================================================
function remove_tel_uri(){ ?>
  
  <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">

<?php }
add_action('wp_head', 'remove_tel_uri');
// =============================================================================

This seems to be the right thing to do, according to the Safari Web Content Guide for iPhone

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">

If you disable this but still want telephone links, you can still use the “tel” URI scheme.
Here is the relevant page (https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/PhoneLinks/PhoneLinks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007899-CH6-SW1) at Apple’s Developer Library.

Hope this helps.
