A report says Samsung's next phone software could record WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet calls. It is not confirmed, and consent rules still apply.
Samsung Galaxy phones may soon be able to record calls made in apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. Android Authority reports that the feature could arrive with One UI 9.5, the next version of Samsung's phone software. Samsung has not confirmed it.
Recording regular phone calls is already familiar to many people. Calls made through apps are different. They run inside the app, not through the phone's normal calling system, so recording them has usually needed extra tools. The report says One UI 9.5 could finally add built-in support for recording calls in third-party apps. Third-party apps are apps made by companies other than Samsung.
This would matter to anyone who uses Galaxy phones and takes calls in these apps. Think of a business owner who talks with clients on WhatsApp, or someone who joins a Google Meet call and wants to save the details afterward. A built-in option could mean fewer add-on apps to install and manage.
The report is a possibility, not a promise. Samsung has not announced the feature. The material does not say when One UI 9.5 will be released, which Galaxy models would get it, or how the recording would work in each app. Those details could change or never arrive.
Nothing needs to change today. If the feature does arrive, check the local rules on consent before recording anyone. Rules differ by place, and some require that people know they are being recorded.
A built-in app call recorder may be coming to Galaxy phones, but Samsung has not confirmed it, and you should check consent rules before recording anyone.
