Several outlets report that Google’s Gemini calling feature is failing for some users on Android and Android Auto. Users describe being unable to place calls and instead seeing error messages when attempting to use Gemini for calling. Reports indicate the issue affects both in-car use through Android Auto and calling attempts on Android devices. The problem appears tied to Gemini’s rollout or migration on Android Auto, with “something went wrong”-type errors cited in coverage. DownDetector-style reporting referenced by one outlet suggests the disruption impacts multiple users rather than a single account or device. In response, Google acknowledges the presence of an issue and is rolling out a fix, according to reports. Some users, frustrated by the interruption, temporarily switch back to Google Assistant for making calls while waiting for Gemini to work again. Coverage across sources aligns on the core points: Gemini call attempts fail for certain users, error messages appear during the attempt, and Google is working to restore functionality via an update or backend correction.
