  1. Duo made a call by itself; phone was in my pocket, heard a noise and it showed I was making a video call to my ex. I turned off the call immediately, but it did it again. I do have her contact info, but it was buried in my list of contacts; hadn’t opened her info in months. Have never used Duo, and after this FUBAR, I never will.
