    Microsoft, a $2.5T company, should employ infinite paranoids to QA Test every situation in all cases, always. They power nuclear submarines.

  No, Teams is about as invasive an app as there is, and Microsoft may have had a much better chance of knowing that they were doing something with a great chance of destabilizing the system than Google ever did. If Teams were any other app and simply playing nice this would have never happened. I'll bet you when the fix is released Google is going to drop one or more API calls that Teams hooked into. Of course it should have never been possible for an App to do this to something that even the dumbest of dumb phones is required to be able to do. But Teams is a special kind of evil and it wants access well over and beyond what it needs to function.
