Truecaller no longer offers call recording feature, here is how to auto-record calls

While Google has banned the call recording feature for third-party apps, users still have native recording options on every smartphone.

Users now won’t be able to record calls using third-party apps like Truecaller. Google has implemented a new Play Store policy that prevents third-party apps from using Accessibility API for call recording on Android phones. But, you don’t have to worry as the native Phone apps will continue to offer this functionality to users. One can also use Google’s Phone app to record calls. Here’s everything you need to know.

While Google has banned the call recording feature for third-party apps, users still have native recording options on every smartphone. But, devices like OnePlus no longer offer this feature. So, one will have to rely on other services. So, those who don’t have any option can simply download Google’s Phone app from Play Store. Some of the handsets come pre-installed with it.

Step 1: Open Google’s Phone app and tap on the three-dotted button > Settings.

Step 2: Now, tap again on Call recording and enable “Numbers not in your contacts.”

Note: This will not enable auto-call recording for all the contacts and only unknown numbers will get recorded. Users will have to manually tap on the recording button every time they get a call from the ones that are saved in their phone’s address book. The above-mentioned process only enables the recording feature, after which you get the recording button once you get on a call.

Google’s Phone app doesn’t let you auto-record all the calls by just enabling the feature. But, don’t worry, there is a way to auto-record most of the calls that you get on phones, and for this, you will have to make an effort. Keep reading to know more.

Step 1: Open Phone app > Settings > call recording.
