How to Record a Call on Android
⚠️ Warning:
In some countries, call recording is subject to legal restrictions. You may need the other party’s consent before recording a call. Please check your local laws.
1. Using the Built-in Call Recording Feature (on some Android devices)
Open the Google Phone app (or your device’s default phone app).
During an incoming or outgoing call, if a “Record” button appears, tap it.
The recording is usually saved to Internal Storage > Recordings > Phone folder.
📌 Note: Starting with Android 10, Google has restricted third-party call recording apps. However, some manufacturers (like Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo, Vivo) may still support this feature.
