San Francisco: The Google Pixel 6 series appears to be suffering from another bug as some Pixel owners have reported that their phones are failing to ring when there is an incoming call.

According to Android Central, the Google Pixel 6 series never seems to run out of bugs and the latest one appears to be a major source of concern, especially for users who rely heavily on phone calls all the time.

The device apparently declines calls at random without your knowledge, the report said.

According to a growing number of users who have taken to Reddit to voice their complaints, their Pixel 6 and 6 Pro automatically reject some phone calls from their saved contacts without even ringing their devices.

"At least 4+ times a week, I will have someone telling me they tried to call me but I have no missed call notification. When I check my call log, it says the call was declined which obviously I did not do. My phone is usually face up on my desk or table when this happens and I do not even see the call come through," a user wrote on Reddit.

What makes matters worse is the lack of a missed call notification. To the surprise of affected users, their call log displays a history of attempted calls that were marked as declined, even though no phone call went through on their screen.

The tech giant is yet to comment on the matter.

The problem persists even after turning off every possible setting that could affect phone calls, including Do Not Disturb and Wi-Fi calling.
