Call Recording on Android

Hey there! Great question about call recording on Android devices. Here’s the general scoop:

Built-in Method

Many Android phones (especially from brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus) have call recording built into their Phone app. During an active call, look for a “Record” button in your call controls. Note that this feature may be limited or disabled in certain regions due to legal restrictions.

Third-Party Apps

If your phone doesn’t have built-in recording, you can use apps from the Google Play Store like:

Google Voice (for incoming calls)

ACR Cube

Call Recorder - Cube ACR

Important Notes

Legal matters: Laws around call recording vary by country/state. In many places, you need consent from all parties involved. Don’t record without permission!

Quality varies: Recording quality depends on your phone and network

Storage: Recordings eat up storage space, so manage them regularly

Pro tip: Check your phone’s Settings > Phone app > Call recording to see what’s available on your specific device.
