Right? Don't make her try to navigate to where she can see the number.

On Android there's a phone symbol at the top of the messenger that you can just tap to call. I'm not familiar with Apple products, but if they have something similar that could be helpful too.

iMessage just has the FaceTime video call option at the top, which isn’t always a good option, but if you click the avatar bubble (middle top circle) it brings up the menu for call, video call, changing their info and notification settings etc.

It’s there behind an extra step, but it’s just complicated enough for someone who doesn’t tech.
