Gemini integration causes Android Auto calling bug on foldable phones

Reports suggest that the integration of Gemini, Google's AI service, may be contributing to this bug. Affected devices include models like the Motorola Razr Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, with some users finding that switching from Gemini back to Google Assistant (before its removal) resolved the problem. Both Google and Motorola are reportedly investigating the issue, but a definitive fix has not yet been released, leaving users to make calls with their phones open or avoid using Gemini. AI
