- Google has confirmed a 911 calling bug on some Pixel devices.
- The issue is related to an “unintended interaction” between Microsoft Teams and Android.
- Google and Microsoft are both working on fixes.
Late last month, a Reddit user highlighted a critical bug affecting a small group of Google Pixel devices attempting to connect to emergency services. The company has now confirmed it has reproduced the issue and that it’s working on a fix.
As highlighted by Reddit user u/KitchenPicture5849 on November 26 (h/t AndroidPolice), their Google Pixel 3 running Android 11 on Verizon faced several issues when calling 911. “My phone got stuck immediately after one ring and I was unable to do anything other than click through apps with an emergency phone call running in the background. This is all while the phone informed me that it had sent my location to emergency services,” the user explains.
