The Google Phone app also comes with call recording features in many regions. And if your phone has Google dialer by default, then you don’t have to worry about Google removing third party apps as the default phone app will still work with the call recording feature. Now that it is available in limited regions, here is a list of all the countries where Google Phone’s App call recording feature is available. Google will take down third party call recording apps because they use Accessibility API to provide call recording features and it is not built for that. Here’s a statement from Google: This means Phone apps that come preloaded on the phone and have call recording features are not violating any policies. Some of the native apps that support call recording are Google Phone, OnePlus Dialer, Mi Dialer, etc. Many OEMs use the Google Phone app as the default phone app on their devices. The call recording feature also depends on the laws and so it is available in limited countries. And this can also be different for devices locked to carriers.
