Google Android smartphones were recently affected by an issue where they were unable to make or receive calls on their phones, essentially preventing their owners from making contact with other users using voice calls. Discovered a few days ago, the bug was reportedly found in the Google App on Android, then subsequently resolved.

According to a recent report by Bleeping Computer, the issue was caused by the Google Search app that is preinstalled on almost all Android phones sold outside China, and was quickly resolved by the company after it was discovered. The fix was delivered in the form of an update to the company’s popular search app for Android devices, which was delivered via the Google Play Store.
