Making a hands-free call shouldn’t feel like an interrogation. You say a contact’s name, Android Auto places the call, and your hands stay on the wheel. But for some Pixel and Samsung Galaxy owners, that simple exchange has turned into an endless conversation with a particularly forgetful assistant. No matter how many times they repeat the name, Android Auto keeps asking the same question: Who do you want to call?
The complaints have been piling up on Google’s support forums since early October, with reports involving the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Galaxy S24, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Galaxy S26. Both calling and texting are affected, leaving some drivers unable to reach their contacts through voice commands.
