Yeah, that's what it does.

If you want a direct call feature, use a widget.

You can also do via EDGE app

Have been using phones since 1993, and am self taught.

I offer advice for free, cos I think it'll help, if it doesn't, explain why, I might learn something new too.

Current phone Galaxy S22 Ultra
Previous phones: most S series, Note 2, Samsung Alpha, iPhone 3gs, far too many Nokia's!

@zaboo: Please can you confirm your model number and current Android version, located in Settings > About phone? Having checked the Messages app on Android 12, you should be able to select a message or conversation, tap the drop down next to the contacts name at the top of the screen, then tap the phone symbol in the top right corner to automatically call the contact.
