Has anyone else ever had this happen? Is this just a joke made for clicks and likes? I saw this many years ago (and likely this exact one as it's from 2019) and I thought this isn't a thing. My thought now, this isn't a thing.
It’s a meme.

Browsers are configured to pass off
tel:links by a designated handler. In Safari on Mac, the default handler is Facetime, or at least was, for a while.On a mobile phone most browsers just open the phone/dialer app to handle
tel:links. In Chrome, back when I had Google Voice, I had it configured to do Google Voice calls (including for a time, Google Hangouts as the interface for my Google Voice account).
