New version of the application Google Phone brought the ability to record phone calls. It is not yet officially released, but by programmers from xda-developers.com she managed to try it.
The feature is not yet officially available
We have announced that Xiaomi has replaced the original Phone, Contacts, and Messaging applications with those in Google in the global MIUI versions. at the beginning of the month. This was due to EU directives and laws as well as other countries where Xiaomi supplies its smartphones.
However, the company has promised to try to return one of the most popular features that users have lost by changing applications.
The ice has moved and Google is already working to include the feature call recording to your Google Phone app. It was already revealed in mid-January / January thanks to the xda-developers team, which, by examining the code in application version no. 43 found an established feature. When testing the newer version with the number 44, the function was also tested.
After implementing this new feature, it will be displayed during each phone call, both incoming and outgoing button "Record", ie "Record". Tap this button to start recording.
The Record button icon changes to clearly indicate that recording is in progress. Tap this button again to end the recording and return the icon to its original state.
You can make recorded phone calls listen from the call log. button sharing in the call recording user interface allows you to export the recorded audio as .wav file, while the speaker button on the left allows you to switch loud eavesdropping.
Finally, it should be possible to create and view a transcript of all recorded phone calls, but testing failed.
Uploading from Google brings interesting features
The first time you activate the call recording feature in Google Phone, a dialog box will appear with the following text:
"When using the call recording feature, you are responsible for complying with applicable call recording laws. Be aware that many jurisdictions require both parties to consent to such uploads. "
In addition, Google will play the recording during the phone call to inform you that the call is being recorded. After recording the call, participants will hear: "This call is being recorded" and at the end of the recording again: "Call recording finished".
It is not yet known whether automatic call recording will be available later, as allowed by the MIUI application. It is also not clear when call recording will be available to all users. For now, everything remains open, including the possibility that Google will not eventually include this feature at all.
