This issue was revealed on November 30, 2021 by a report by KitchenPicture5849 on the bulletin board site Reddit. KitchenPicture5849 tried to call an ambulance on the Pixel 3 on November 26 because his grandmother was at risk of having a stroke, but the phone stopped accepting operations once it was ringing. That thing.

After the situation settled down, KitchenPicture5849 checked the operation and found that only the call to 911 was not recorded.

Google's Pixel community team, aware of this, conducted an investigation.

As a result, I found that the problem occurs only when 'the device with Microsoft Teams installed is not logged in to the Microsoft account'. It is said that this bug was reported to have occurred only once.

The cause is believed to be an unintended interaction between Microsoft Teams and Android OS version 10 and above, and Google reports that it is working with Microsoft to resolve the issue.

Microsoft Teams updates will be available shortly, and Android OS updates will be available on January 4, 2022.
