Summary
- Foldable phones are reportedly losing call function in Android Auto.

Owners of foldable smartphones are encountering a peculiar bug that prevents them from making outgoing calls via Android Auto when their devices are closed. Reports surfacing on platforms like Reddit and official Google and Motorola forums indicate that the calling functionality ceases to work under these specific conditions.
Users have described receiving notifications to "flip open to continue" when attempting to place a call with a closed foldable phone, though incoming calls reportedly remain unaffected. A notable observation among affected users is that this issue seems to have coincided with their adoption and use of the Gemini application.
While the exact cause of this disruptive bug has not yet been confirmed, both Google and Motorola have acknowledged the problem. Company representatives have been actively gathering information from users in online forums, suggesting an ongoing investigation into the matter to identify and resolve the underlying defect.
