"Last fall, Google debuted a new feature called Take A Message for every Pixel phone from the model 4 onward. The feature functions mostly like voicemail. When you miss or decline a call, the caller is prompted to leave a message, and you'll see a transcript of what they said in your call history along with a play button to hear the actual audio. There's an answer button available if you want to pick up the call at any time."
"When a Pixel 5 user reported the issue on Reddit a few months ago, several other users said it had happened to them. Most problems seem to be with older devices, but at least one Pixel 10 user reported it. Users who noticed the issue were able to replicate it to verify the problem. I tried to replicate the bug on my own Pixel 9 Pro XL, my wife's Pixel 9a, and an older 6a, but couldn't."
Take A Message prompts callers to leave voicemail-like messages and provides transcripts and audio playback in call history, with an option to answer. A bug can cause callers who choose to leave a message to hear background audio from the recipient's phone, making the recipient's microphone audible while preventing the recipient from hearing the caller. Reports primarily involve older Pixel models, with at least one report from a Pixel 10. Some users were able to replicate the behavior while others could not. To prevent potential exposure, disable Take A Message in the Phone app settings (More > Settings > Take A Message).
