Screen lock calls

[mthom5]

Can the Google assistant not make a call on P6 when the phone is locked? On my 4xl I could tell Google to call while my phone was locked and it always did it. Now when I do it says I have to unlock my phone first.

Same issue here. In Google Assistant settings, Lock Screen, I have Assistant responses on lock screen turned on yet when my phone is locked and I say "Hey Google, Call (a contact)" GA tells me I need to unlock. That doesn't seem right.

It isn't right, especially when driving and using a Bluetooth hands free earpiece.
Assistant needing the phone to be unlocked also happens when I tell the Assistant to turn off/on lights and other commands.
Google does need to fix this.

This worked for me but is intermittent. Open Assistant settings. Open See all Assistant settings and check everything under lock screen and personal results.
