Last year, Google own Phone app introduced a new call recording feature that only works with Pixel devices and select Nokia and Xiaomi phones. A recording button appears in the ongoing call screen that plays back a voice, notifying both parties that the call is being recorded.
An APK teardown of the latest Google Phone app version 59 (performed by XDA-Developers) reveals some strings of text that suggest a new feature would allow users to begin recording all phone calls from unknown callers or numbers not on a user’s contacts list.
One string is essentially a disclaimer that reads:
You or the other person in your call might be somewhere
Other strings show a confirmation of an automatic call recording option. One is “Always record” and the other says “Cancel”.
Just because an app teardown finds this kind of evidence before a feature is activated, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that it will come to life. At the same time, Google hasn’t acknowledged or confirmed that such a feature is going to arrive.
