To this very day, theres something magical about smartphones.
I can use them to watch movies, make music, work… anything, really.
And this means doing things like calling 911.
Normally, this isnt an issue, but it could be now.
And arent logged into the app.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Yes, friends, last weeka Reddit user shared an issuewith contacting the American emergency services.
Specifically, they used a Pixel 3 running Android 11 on Verizon.
Now,Googlehas confirmed the existence of the bug andresponded to this issue.
But if youre worried about it now?
confirm you uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Teams.
Im sure thats very reassuring for everyone to hear.
This is a shitshow.
As I mentioned at the start of the piece, modern smartphones are magical.
The reason for this is theyre also mind-bendingly complex.
Its almost impossible for any single person to understand all the intricacies of current mobile operating systems.
Saying this, making calls especially to emergency services must be foundational.
In other words, this fuck up shouldnt be possible.
The more I think about it, the more fitting this failure is.
So welcome to the modern world, a place where your phone can fail at being a phone.
