Well, I am on the journey to find a good privacy respecting Android dialer app which also has the ability to record the calls regardless if it’s saved or not. I guess that’s a simple enough requirment PS: The device is unrooted.
Do either of those record?
Do either of these record? It’s like one thing I need. …
Google killed call recording apps a year ago iirc
Call recording aside, the best combo I can recommend is simple dialer + yet another call blocker
Google killed call recording apps a year ago iirc
What?
The article is not that clear, is this just a policy for apps on the Google Play store, meaning apps from F-Droid and whatnot have no issue recording calls?
Pretty sure they pushed something system-level on Android too
Looks like that particular app was last updated before Google Play had updated their policy to prohibit using the accessibility API to record calls. Meaning that app description was probably referring to how Google had removed the API that this developer was using for call recording, when developers had not yet moved onto using the accessibility API workaround.
Oh ok, so there are apps to record calls?
I currently use this on my FP3 to record calls (Installed via a Magisk module)
It works pretty well, however OP do test with both bluetooth and wired headphones as those can be hit or miss. Also, sometimes Duo video calls are recorded and sometimes they’re completely silent.
There are system-level restriction on call access, for security reasons. I wish they would build it into AOSP but there would inevitably be people using it illegally.
I still have it on my GrapheneOS Pixel
I see the setting, but how do you actually begin recording a call?
For me, on a phone call, there just is a button to start.
Still have call recording? Using what app?
It’s just in the main calling app, the standard ‘phone’ one. Possibly a Graphene exclusive.
I have Graphene. The call app is the standard AOSP one and it doesn’t have recording capability.
The standard phone app on GrapheneOS does support it.
I just looked and saw options in the settings. But how do you use it?
E: wow, okay, so you have to place a call, wait for them to pick up, and then scroll down into an invisible menu and there is a record button…
You just press “record call” it’s one of the six buttons over the “end call” button. Not invisible at all
? For me it’s right there, not sure what to say.
That really sucks to hear… I guess I am rooting my device sigh this is what happens if corporates take control of foss projects
Are there apps that can record calls on rooted phones?
But…are Magisk modules safe?
I trusted them for years. But, imo, if your rooting your device what your looking for is more functionality and not more safety.
Well, not really. Once was like that and I used to change ROM, but I got fed up of all the problems, so now I’m OK with the Pixel stock ROM. By the way, my bad, the Xposed modules where not so safe to use. Thanks. I’ll try the module.Clos
Would love to see any suggestions to this as well. I’m currently using Cube ACR for call recording but after some Android OS changes the recording qualify for the incoming line is horrible.
my hong kong infinix phone has this feature included in the main caller app.
I use Simple Dialer myself. It’s available on F-Droid.
Simple dialer kinda sucks if you have two SIMs. You can’t set default sim per contact. I just end up using the default dialer.
Welefon and Simple Dialer

It doesn’t have recording capability?..
I’ve tried this but alas No use, Both the receivers and my voice is not being recorded
oops someone else already posted that
