I had call recording on my Samsung devices for years, up until the beginning of last year when they broke all the third party recording apps...
It would be really nice to have that back.
I think it was google that fucked it up. The newest (as of a long time back) version of Android broke it and I had to install a separate app to get ACR working again. And it never recorded their end properly unless I was on speaker or their side was somehow audible through my mic. So stupid.
Indeed. I'm in a single-party province, it's perfectly legal for me to record the phone calls that I'm part of, but years ago Google decided "I am the law!" And took that away from me. Super annoying.
The article says Samsung's version still isn't as good as how it used to be back then, but perhaps it's a step in the right direction.
All these years, and I still have to put the phone on speaker and set it next to my laptop and use the Audacity app on my laptop to record a call.
I've got a digital voice recorder similar to this on me almost all the time, I like to use it to make notes and to-dos and what have you. Very handy for recording phone calls too, when put on speaker.
