The very latest disablement that error has hit Google Pixels is: The Can't make phone calls using Gemini. The update has been targeting users who were calling through voice commands with Google Assistant and could not do so after the last update. If you have been suffering from the very same issues, it is sure that you are not alone, as many people have been suffering from this issue.
Why Fail Call Through Gemini on Google Pixel?
Gemini would have slowly taken over what had gotten controlled by Google Assistant. But even the latest version of Gemini cannot enable the very basic features of making calls, sending and reading messages, setting reminders or controlling devices like anyone would have done with Assistant.
* Gemini is still not entirely voice-action capable
* Some functions have been made limited by Google for safety and compatibility purposes.
* Features are gradually being introduced with updates
If it said: “Hey Google, call Mom”, then, of course, Gemini mostly does not understand that order and totally misses the action.
Just You
No-pixel users across the world have yet felt the problem with thousands. Read thousands of threads on this matter on X (Twitter) and Reddit; you could hardly find one with the same content on the Google Support Forum. Worst seem to have been Pixel 7, Pixel 8, Pixel 8a, and Pixel Fold users.
What Troubleshooting Would Entail?
It's still a mystery as to when permanent solutions would be reached, but temporary fixes seem to keep coming in handy.
1. Off With Gemini and On With Google Assistant for the Time Being
Settings → Apps → Default Apps → Digital Assistant → Google Assistant.
2. Check For Updates Of Gemini
As a general rule, every new Google release comes with new features and bug fixes.
3. Update Your Phone's Dialer App
Your phone should generally not be affected by this update.
4. Wait For Addressee To Arrive From Google
Google indeed acknowledged that many neat features of Gemini are still in development.
Conclusion
If you can't make calls with Gemini on a Pixel device, keep calm. This is not a localized event ""It is a worldwide disaster, and Google is desperately working on it." There are so many great things to look forward to in the next patch.
