Microsoft Teams bug blocked Android emergency call
Google says an unusual bug involving the Microsoft Teams app stopped some Android users being able to make emergency calls. On the initial Reddit post where the affected user raised the issue, some users speculated that because Microsoft Teams can handle voice calls, it was attempting to handle the emergency call rather than leave it to the default phone dialling app. Others questioned why an emergency call would ever need to be routed through anything other than a standard mobile phone calling app. The original post noted the affected person then used their grandmother's landline phone to make the emergency call. "Let's be real, as someone without a landline, I sure as hell don't want a phone that freaks out when I try to call 911 in the middle of a life-threatening emergency," they wrote at the time.
