Changes to Google Policy: Major changes to Google policy, call recording on mobile phones will soon be discontinued

The recording feature can be used in the phone

Call recording on Android phones will soon be discontinued, but not completely. Google recently updated its Play Store policy with a number of changes that will take effect on May 11. The change in the new policy will have a major impact on the call recording application available on the Play Store.

The new Google Play Store policy will change that
Accessibility APIs for remote call audio recording cannot be requested, which means apps will not have permission to record calls. This means that Truecaller, automatic call recorder, Cube ACR and other popular app will not work.

The recording feature can be used if it is in the phone
If the dialer of your Android phone has a call recording feature by default, you can record a call. Google has revealed that the pre-loaded call recording app or feature will not require accessibility permission, thus native call recording will work.

If the app is the default dialer on the phone and is also preloaded, accessibility is not required to access the incoming audio stream, said a presenter at a Google webinar.

No tension for people using Xiaomi phones
So far Google’s Pixel and Xiaomi phones have come up with a default call recorder on their dialer apps. So if you have a Pixel or Xiaomi phone you don’t need to panic.
