Some Pixel users experiencing random calls to people on their contacts list, Google working on a fix

A new bug in Pixel phones is automatically initiating calls to random contacts in the phone. Pixel owners discussed the issue online and in case you face the same problem, here is a fix that seems to work for everyone.

A new issue plagues Pixel phones, including the new Pixel 6 series, wherein the Google smartphones randomly call any number in the contact list. Several phone owners have taken to social media to complain of the problem. A discussion in an online forum suggests that the bug might be related to the voice assistant on the phones.

An online Reddit forum shares that a Pixel phone seemingly called a number in the contact list which the phone owner had never called before. All this while, the owner was away from the phone and could not possibly have operated it. Another time, the same Pixel phone called a random contact while kept face down.
