How To Record Calls On Android?
USING THE NATIVE DIALER
Every Android Smartphone has a native dialer where you can place calls. You can easily go to the settings and check for the option “CALL RECORDING”, enable it and BOOM!… all of your calls will be recorded and saved in the file manager. If you have upgraded your device to the latest software version then you might have seen that your old dialer might have gone and there will be a new dialer called “PHONE BY GOOGLE”. And that’s because all the smartphone OEMs have shifted to it.
You can record calls but there is a catch!!!, whenever you press the recording button during the phone call there will be an announcement to the receiver like “YOUR CALL IS BEING RECORDED” which is quite annoying, But you can also toggle on the auto-recording option which will automatically record calls but Google has also introduced some restriction to it such that only the calls from unknown numbers will be recorded and not the calls from saved numbers.

CALL RECORDER- CUBE ACR
This app is one of the most technically advanced call recorders. Users can record phone calls and VoIP calls as well. This app supports most of the android versions. The best feature of this app is that it can record calls through VoIP from apps like,
-Signal

- Telegram, Messenger.
NOTE: Not all devices support VoIP calls recording here is a link where you can find the list of supported devices as tested. There is a paid subscription for the app as well but it doesn’t have any useful features and it blocks ads, so we don’t recommend upgrading to a paid subscription.

GOOGLE VOICE APP:
This app is made by Google and it is available only in a few regions right now. This app needs your google account to be signed in. It can also record calls but the biggest limitation is that it can only record the incoming calls which is a bummer. Google has also provided a solution on how to record your calls.

⦁ USING ANOTHER MOBILE:
This may sound weird but it works. While in a call you can use another smartphone to record the call. However, you have to put your call on speakerphone, but this may be a privacy concern for some people.
⦁ USING EXTERNAL RECORDING DEVICES:
Several external recording devices can be used while placing a call.
FINAL VERDICT: As Google has implemented several restrictions for recording calls on android smartphones some 3rd party apps may not work on your device like the recorded voice may not be audible at all, the contact number will not be visible. We are hoping that Google will bring the auto-call recording feature back so that the annoying announcement will be removed whenever we press the record button.
