Google introduces Android phone app call recorder for Pixel users

Tech giant Google is rolling out its in-phone recording feature called Android Phone app call recorder to Pixel users in more markets around the world.

According to Mashable, the recorder, which was launched in the US last year for a select bunch of users, is finally coming to more countries.

Twitter user Jay Prakash has shown that the option is available on his Pixel 4a device in India. So, if you have a Pixel phone on hand, you can check to see whether you have received the update. Open Google’s phone app, head to Settings, and then look for Call Recording. Once you enable the feature, you should start seeing a new record option on the dialer UI when you make or receive a call. You can also set-up the feature to auto-delete any saved audio within a specific period of time, i.e. 7, 14, or 30 days.

You can also ignore the auto delete options and set it up to require manual deletion, which gives you time to review your recorded conversations. There is also an option to automatically record calls from unknown numbers.

However, call recording has been available on other devices for quite some time, but legal restrictions in certain regions mean that you may not be able to access the option on your devices.
