You can add contacts to your favorites by searching for them. These contacts will appear (likely at the top) of the Calls Tab. You could then tap on the name of their contact to make a call without any delay.

This feature is similar to the way you can pin specific chats. Contacts that are pinned always appear on the top of the Chats tab. The calls tab currently only shows a list of all the calls that you have made or received within the app.

This feature is in the early stages of development, and it’s not yet available for testing, even with beta builds. There is no specific release date, but it should be available soon for all stable users.
