Some Google Pixel phones are randomly calling people on their contact list

07 November 2021
The weird bug is seemingly related to the Google Assistant misbehaving and is mostly happening on Pixel 6 phones.

No one should be surprised by a Google phone trying to 'phone home' by whatever means possible, even if it means phoning random people on owners contacts lists, it will make contact with headquarters eventually...

    That's funny 😂

      They just keep justifying why I should avoid buying any of their products
      Strange marketing tactics for sure

        I still don’t understand why a gorillion dollar mega-corp like Google can’t even make a phone that isn’t a janky piece of poo.

              It's so good that google didn't break the tradition with pixel devices

                Call Google 😀

                  They want to reduce the Shock-value & Normalize this " New product comes with bugs thing " so they can do and take whatever they want and later blame it on bugs.

                      I am not a fan of Iphones, but this is why Apple is Apple. Imagine phone call police and you need to explain this was made because of a BUG, in Romania. A fine of $500 when the average income is $250 in not good.

                        It's not a Pixel phone if it's not plagued with bugs, software and hardware issues out of the box. Just saying. ;)

                          Mediocre phones, too many issues, poor aftersales support.

                          But we got machine learning

                            It's ironic that not only hardware is always whatever, they can't even do software right which is their whole shtick...

                                like the failure of Tensor to meet expectation wasn't enough . go home google you are not up to making a phone . for god sake you are not even a software developer thats why you bought android .

                                  It's not a pixel phone without it's glitches and problems. Lol

Most of the time it is miss except simple commands like call someone, open some app, etc etc. Again it fails spectacularly when you have dual sim and it waits for you to select sim manually. I think it was on google assistant
