It is always refreshing when a device gets a new update. Many Android phone makers, in recent times, try to push out regular security patch updates, often monthly, to their devices. Realme 2 Pro recently got updated to March 2020 update.

The March update to the Realme 2 Pro brought with it a bunch of goodies including VoWiFi. Unfortunately, the update also introduced an annoying bug to the device.

Many Realme 2 Pro users who updated to the March 2020 patch updated have been having an issue such that, whenever a new device connects to the hotspot created on the device, the phone would notify endlessly. You can read more about this bug here.

It was only a matter of time before someone high up noticed this update and did something about it, seeing as to just how widespread the bug is. And true, Realme has come out to officially acknowledge the bug.
