- Two Google Pixel 6 features have been disabled and we're losing sight of their issues
(* 6 *) Long months have passed for Google Pixel 6 users with a host of issues and bugs plaguing the phone and the Pixel 6 Pro since its launch in October. Just because 2021 is almost over doesn't mean there are problems, and it's time for more smartphone shenanigans.
(* 6 *) For example, the Hold for Me and Call Screening features have been temporarily disabled, as confirmed by a product support manager in an article posted on the Google support forums.
(* 6 *) The first of these features allows the phone to automatically monitor the call when put on hold and notify you when someone is ready to speak again, and call control gives you more information on who you are. Calls and why before picking up the phone.
(* 6 *) It should be noted that these services did not work in all countries where the Pixel 6 was sold, so some Pixel users may not have noticed that the features were disabled in the first place.
(*6*)The support message says "a bug in the December Android update", which means that the features should be disabled for now.
(*6*)Google has stated that it is "actively working to resolve this issue", so hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the phone's useful filtering features to work again.
Analysis: the long road to the pixel problem is not over
(* 6 *) The Google Pixel 6 family made headlines when it launched due to the fact that they were the first exciting Pixel phones in years, but when the initial excitement died down, trouble began.
(* 6 *) We've seen issues where the phone calls random contacts, refuses to connect to Android Auto, won't charge at full speed, sometimes screen flickers, can't call Wi-Fi, turns off the player , fingerprints if your phone is discharged and more.
(* 6 *) We've even compiled a comprehensive list of the various Google Pixel 6 issues we've encountered.
(* 6 *) Even two days before the support page was published, a widespread problem arose as many Pixel users reported that their connection kept disconnecting, although Google said it was not due to the December Android update that caused today's troubles.
(* 6 *) So the long road to Pixel problems is not over yet, and we will likely continue to write Pixel 6 problems until 2022. It's worth considering if you're considering buying the phone soon, but keep in mind Note that not all users experience all problems, so the failures may not be as serious as they initially appear.
