Unless you’re willing to root your Android 9 Pie phone, in which case your warranty will be voided, there’s no longer a way to «properly» record calls… Unless you’re willing to root your Android 9 Pie phone, in which case your warranty will be voided, there’s no longer a way to «properly» record calls…<\/b>
\nFret not, as we\u2019re obviously not talking any earth-shattering changes for the vast majority of smartphone users, but we\u2019re pretty certain a few folks will be disappointed to see call recording support go away.
By default, Android handsets technically lacked the ability to record conversations before, which obviously didn\u2019t stop third-party developers from releasing apps with that exact purpose.
But a number of those third-party apps aren\u2019t playing nice with devices running Android 9.0, and it\u2019s been confirmed that\u2019s because Google has \u201cadded more call recording limits.\u201d The workaround that allowed Boldbeast Android Call Recorder and Call Recorder — ACR to do their thing \u201cup until Android 8.1\u201d has apparently been \u201cclosed\u201d, and by the looks of things, no app will be able to \u201crecord calls properly\u201d on \u201cany Android 9 phone.\u201d
It\u2019s easy to guess why Google took action against a smartphone feature routinely used without the consent or knowledge of individuals being recorded. Security and privacy are among the most discussed topics surrounding every big new software or hardware launch, and the search giant couldn\u2019t let any loophole, no matter how small, threaten its reputation.
But at the end of the day, rooting your Android Pie phone should still allow Boldbeast developers, as well as many others, to \u201cfix the problem.\u201d Just remember you\u2019ll be voiding your warranty, and make sure you know exactly what you\u2019re doing. Also, don\u2019t be a jerk and even think about recording anyone without telling them first.
While we keep finding out about neat little features added, expanded, or revised by Google in the latest version of the world\u2019s most popular mobile OS, Android 9 Pie is also sadly doing away with a few things.<\/p>\n
