**TL;DR:** Google issues quick fix for broken Android Auto phone calls

---

Credit: Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Android Auto users have been reporting that Gemini is struggling to make calls. Google has now rolled out a fix for the bug. You’ll need to update the app to the latest version in the Google Play Store. If you’ve been having trouble getting Gemini to make calls on Android Auto or on mobile, you’re not the only one. Yesterday, we first reported that dozens of users appeared to be experiencing the same issue with Google’s AI assistant.

Fortunately, it appears the bug will be a short-lived problem as a solution is now available. To quickly recap the situation, we found multiple reports of Android Auto users getting error messages that read “Something went wrong. Please try again” when attempting to make a call via Gemini. The issue persisted even after trying the usual troubleshooting methods, like clearing app data and reinstalling apps. As a result, some users decided to switch back to Google Assistant or uninstall their most recent update to regain calling functionality.

Tech news is rarely just a gadget headline. We frame what changed, who benefits, and what to watch next as details firm up.

Readers should treat early numbers and unnamed claims cautiously. The durable story is usually confirmed in docs, filings, or follow-up reporting.

Track whether the story affects total cost of ownership: subscriptions, compatibility, downtime risk, or support burden.

1) Separate the announcement from the shipping date. 2) Compare alternatives if pricing or terms shift. 3) Revisit the story when independent verification lands.
