How to Record Calls on Android Secretly Like a Pro

Wondering how to record someone’s call on your Android phone? Here’s the quick guide on how to record calls on Android.

Recording a phone call back in the days was pretty easy since there were a bunch of call recording apps in the Play Store with a range of features. But with the release of Android 9, things have changed completely.

Google removed many call recording apps from the PlayStore and added limitations to the rest of the apps that prevented them from recording phone calls. The situation is the same with third-party apps too.

All those apps seemed to work, but when you start recording, you hear nothing except silence.

This is the present situation with call recording apps.

Why did Google do that? The answer is simple. It’s just for forcing you to rely on built-in call recorders, which is what you’re going to see in this post.
