A Google Assistant bug seems to be causing some users to miss alarms and calls on Android

• A mysterious Google Assistant bug has been reported
• It means Do Not Disturb settings aren’t recognized
• Important calls and alerts could be missed due to the bug

Google Assistant might be on the way out as Gemini gradually replaces it, but before it leaves the stage, it seems to be causing problems with calls and alarms being missed – apparently due to a Do Not Disturb bug.

With reports emerging first on Reddit, the team at Android Authority was also able to replicate the issue. Essentially, turning on Do Not Disturb via a Google Assistant voice command also fully mutes calls and alarms too.
