Android Auto’s Gemini failing keeps asking who you want to call, frustrating voice commands

Voice commands get stuck

Android Auto users say Gemini can get trapped in a repeated question when they ask it to place a call or send a text. After asking who the user wants to contact, Gemini does not complete the request.

Users report saying the person’s name again, only for Gemini to restart the same question. The loop affects both calling and messaging by voice.

Reports span devices

The problem has surfaced in a trending discussion on Google’s forums. Reports began in early October and have appeared more frequently lately. Users have described the issue across different phones and Android Auto builds, rather than tying it to one particular device or version. Some users also report Android Auto answering calls automatically, but that issue appears much less widespread.

Updates may address issue

Google regularly releases updates for Android Auto and Gemini, and the report says a fix may arrive in a future update. It does not identify a confirmed release date or a specific update that resolves the problem. Users experiencing the voice-command loop are invited to share their reports in the comments.
