Android Authority found new code strings in Pixel Buds app version 1.0.981607934 referencing a 'Mute & unmute' feature. The strings describe a single tap on either earbud to mute or unmute during a call, with a footer noting the feature would be limited to Pixel devices using the Phone and Google Meet apps.
A poster on Hacker News describes over a year of calls that never register on their iPhone as missed calls, occurring across carriers, locations, wifi calling settings, and contact types. Switching from Verizon to T-Mobile did not resolve the issue, and troubleshooting steps like resetting network settings had no lasting effect. The poster speculates that carriers may be deprioritizing voice call reliability as fewer subscribers depend on traditional calling.
