Truecaller is reintroducing support for call recording on its popular caller identification app for smartphones. This feature was previously available on Android smartphones, but was discontinue after Google crack down on apps using an API design for accessibility features to record calls.
But now users on either an iPhone or an Android smartphone can record calls, due to a workaround.
As, the feature will be only accessible to Premium subscribers, as per the company.
You will also have access to an AI-back feature that generates transcripts of calls.
Truecaller announce the introduction of call recording support on iOS in the US.
When a call is recorded, it will be accessible in the Truecaller app, allowing users to listen, rename, delete, or share the recorded files.
This feature will be available to users with a Truecaller Premium subscription.
Just like other third-party recorder apps on iOS, Truecaller has to work around Apple’s limitations, and the app manages this by dialling a recording line that you must merge with an incoming call.
When the call ends, the user will be notified that the recording is ready, as per the company.
For incoming calls, users will have to dial the recording line follow by the contact and then merge the calls.
Truecaller’s website does not list call recording as a feature available for Truecaller on Android, but as per report said that Android users who have set Truecaller as their default dialler app will be able to seamlessly record a call with the press of a button.
Users who prefer the built-in dialler, such as Google’s Phone app, will see a floating recording button that will start recording the call.
Truecaller will also allow users to see searchable transcripts of their call recordings, this feature will roll out to users in the US over the coming weeks.
To inform the other user that an ongoing call is being recorded, Truecaller will play a beep while the call is being recorded.
This is similar to the call recording experience on the inbuilt Google Phone app on many Android phones that plays a message alerting the other user when call recording begins and ends.
While the call recording feature for iOS and Android is currently available in the US, it is expect to roll out to other regions soon.
As per Truecaller spokesperson, the call recording for iOS and Android would roll out to users in India soon.
This feature will be accessible to users with a Truecaller Premium subscription, as per Truecaller.
