      Calls made from speakers and Smart Displays will not show up with a caller ID unless you’re using Duo.

      Is it possible to use Duo still? Google knows it discontinued/merged Duo with Google Meet nearly 18 months ago, right?

      The commute to work on smart screens going away is a headscratcher. How complicated could it be?

      Using your voice to send an email, video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages.

      You could never make calls. I remember trying to find my phone by asking Google to call it and it just saying “calling xyz”. Never rang, not while I was using a Google voice number, not on Google Fi, not on T-Mobile/mint.

      Also, didn’t see anything about asking the assistant on the living room something and the device in the bedroom answering and vice-versa. Not sure how something so simple could be messed up. We kind of gave up on using it due to that, it isn’t even good enough to Google a question any longer.

        Seems like mine magically started working one day for calling. Don’t need or want that function though.
