The new call recording feature on Android may be restricted in certain regions

In January of this year, an APK analysis showed, that Google is working on a call recording feature in the 'Phone' app. This week, the resource XDA Developers reported, reported that support for this capability has already appeared on some Nokia phones in India. Now Google itself has released information on how to use the 'Phone' app for call recording. After some time, the page was removed, but 'the Internet remembers everything'.

According to Google's support page, to record a call, the device must run Android 9 or later, and the latest version of the 'Phone' app must be installed. Furthermore, the feature does not work in all regions. Recording a call will apparently be as easy as turning on speakerphone — you simply need to press a button on the screen. However, the document does not specify which devices and countries are involved.

The document further states: when a user first activates the call recording feature, they are informed that they themselves are responsible for complying with local laws (in many regions, consent from all parties is required before recording starts). The document also states: 'When you start recording, the other participant in the conversation hears a notification informing them of this. When the recording stops, the other party hears a similar notification about the stop.' Additionally, the document mentions that recording does not occur until the other party answers the call, when the call is on hold or disconnected, and in conference call situations.

Recorded calls are stored on the device, not in the cloud. Users can access them through the 'Phone' app by simply tapping the 'Recent' button and then selecting the contact's name. In this interface, users can play back the recording, delete it, or share it via email or messaging services.

There is currently no information on when this feature will become available on Android, but since some users in India are already using it and Google is publishing documentation, the launch could happen very soon. By the way, the search giant is also planning to implement a text transcription feature for phone calls.
