Telephone field.
Accepts a telephone number as text with phone-friendly hints.

What it is
Phone numbers can include country codes, spaces, and punctuation, so a telephone field should not behave like an arithmetic number input. International context helps people choose the right format.
When to use it
Allow international prefixes and common formatting without losing significant digits.
Know the difference
A numeric quantity can be incremented; a phone number is an identifier that must retain its characters.
Across platforms
Web
Use a labeled native input and its appropriate type, inputmode, and autocomplete hints. Browser presentation and the available autofill UI vary.
iOS · iPadOS · Android
Choose the keyboard and content type for the value being entered. Keep the field visible above the on-screen keyboard and preserve the user’s selection.
macOS · Windows · Linux
Support ordinary keyboard editing, selection, paste, and undo. A desktop field should not depend on a touch-only accessory keyboard.
