For a small number of users, the Pixel Phone app’s “Take a Message” feature inadvertently sent audio to the caller. Google has now confirmed the issue and is disabling it on the Pixel 4 and 5 series. In response, Google is “disabling Take a Message and next-gen Call Screen features” from the Pixel 4 and 5, which no longer receive Android updates. We’ve investigated this issue, which we’ve confirmed affects a very small subset of Pixel 4 and 5 devices under very specific and rare circumstances. Out of an abundance of caution, we’re disabling Take a Message and next-gen Call Screen features from these devices.
