Call recording on Android phones is now possible using Truecaller. The Caller ID app introduces a native call recording feature that allows users to record incoming and outgoing calls on their device. Truecaller stores call recordings in your phone’s storage. Since the recordings are stored offline, you can listen to them anytime – even if you don’t have active internet access. You can also share your call recordings with any contact.
Truecaller first introduced call recording through its app in 2018, but the feature was studied for paid subscribers. But the company has now started rolling out the feature to all users.
Gaurav Jain, Head of Calls at Truecaller, told technology shout that the new call recording feature is now available on devices running Android 5.1 and above. The feature is available to 100% of users of the latest public beta version of the app, and 5% of users of the stable version. The company aims to roll out call recording to 100% of Truecaller users globally in the next two to three weeks and says the feature will be available on all Android versions, including the latest Android 12.
