How is call recording functionality implemented on Android devices

On modern Android, there’s no simple built‑in “record everything” switch anymore, mainly due to privacy and legal restrictions.

Options:

1. Built‑in dialer (if available)
Some phones (e.g., certain Xiaomi, Samsung, older Google Dialer versions) have a record button in the Phone app. It may be limited by region and may announce recording to both parties.

2. Third‑party apps
Call recorder apps hook into the call audio stream or use the microphone. Since Android 10+, direct call‑audio access is restricted, so quality varies and some apps need accessibility permissions or workarounds.

3. Monitoring/parental apps (like Spynger)
Tools like Spynger bundle call logs, sometimes recordings, chats, etc., but they’re more for monitoring than casual personal recording.

Always check your local laws and get consent where required.
