Gemini suddenly can't make calls on Android and Android Auto
9to5Google • • general
Key Points:
- A bug in the Gemini update on Android Auto is preventing users from making calls via voice commands, with an error message saying “Something went wrong. Please try again” appearing on phones.
- The issue is not limited to Android Auto but also affects call functionality directly on Android devices, suggesting the problem may stem from a Gemini or Google app update.
- Some users have found that switching back to Google Assistant temporarily resolves the calling issue, though this is not a permanent fix.
- There are additional visual glitches where Android Auto intermittently shows the Assistant icon instead of Gemini, despite Gemini being used for responses.
- Google has recently updated Gemini with new features, including a macOS app icon and screenshot shortcut, AI app-building collaborations, and limited Google TV control capabilities.
