Feature description

I recently switched to Fossify phone, it is very well done, congrats!
One thing I miss from the Google dialer is the display of public names related to phone numbers.
I suppose the Google dialer looks in the Google Maps database and find a name related to the number you are dialing.
This is handy, since even though the number is not in your addressbook, the name appears when you dialing to that number.
I am wondering if such a feature could be implemented in Fossify/phone.

Why do you want this feature?

It is convenient to have the name appearing when you compose a public number.

By the design, the app has no Internet access, so we can't do this.

OK, thanks for the reply.
What is the problem with having an optional internet access?

Internet permission is probably the most misused permission in all of history so unless the app's core functionality requires Internet permission, we won't add it. That means all of the existing apps will never get access to the internet.
