Overview
The flutter_phone_state package enables Flutter applications to initiate phone calls and monitor the current state of phone calls on Android and iOS devices. It provides a simple interface to handle call functionality, such as dialing numbers and detecting call status changes like ringing, connected, or disconnected. This is particularly useful for apps requiring direct communication features, such as customer support tools, telehealth platforms, or emergency services. The plugin integrates with native device capabilities through platform channels.
