Well, I am on the journey to find a good privacy respecting Android dialer app which also has the ability to record the calls regardless if it’s saved or not. I guess that’s a simple enough requirment PS: The device is unrooted.

    The article is not that clear, is this just a policy for apps on the Google Play store, meaning apps from F-Droid and whatnot have no issue recording calls?

        I currently use this on my FP3 to record calls (Installed via a Magisk module)

        It works pretty well, however OP do test with both bluetooth and wired headphones as those can be hit or miss. Also, sometimes Duo video calls are recorded and sometimes they’re completely silent.

        Looks like that particular app was last updated before Google Play had updated their policy to prohibit using the accessibility API to record calls. Meaning that app description was probably referring to how Google had removed the API that this developer was using for call recording, when developers had not yet moved onto using the accessibility API workaround.
