Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>TL;DR<\/p>\n<p>Call Recording is finally rolling out to Pixel users outside the US.<br \/>\nVarious reports from different parts of Europe confirm the feature\u2019s availability.<br \/>\nGoogle has confirmed the feature is coming to all countries where call recording isn\u2019t legally prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s promised rollout of the Call Recording feature in the native Phone app on Pixel devices has hit a few snags recently. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-call-recording-2-3602189\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google first confirmed its plan<\/a> to bring the feature back in September, we didn\u2019t actually see it rolling out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-call-recording-wider-rollout-3615833\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">until November last year<\/a>. Even then, the availability seemed limited, and the majority of our readers outside the US reported not seeing the feature even after updating their Pixel phones to the latest version. But now, it appears, the rollout has finally expanded to users outside the US.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/02\/19\/pixel-call-recording-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">9to5Google<\/a> recently reported that Call Recording is finally rolling out to users in different parts of the world. It\u2019s based on the confirmation from a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/phoneapp\/answer\/9803950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">support page by Google<\/a>, which appears to have been recently updated to note the following:<\/p>\n<p>Call Recording is widely available, but not in all countries or regions. Features vary based on your country or region.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Google confirmed to\u00a09to5Google that the feature will arrive in all supported countries by the end of February. Since the feature does not require AI, it is available on a broad range of phones, starting with the Pixel 6 and also including the freshly launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-10a-hands-on-3640277\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel 10a.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_2m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233971_656_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233972_401_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to Google\u2019s official confirmation, we\u2019re seeing a slew of user reports on Reddit corroborating that the update is indeed rolling out widely.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re seeing reports that Call Recording is now available on Pixel phones across parts of Europe, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1r144ya\/comment\/o5jpym4\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Germany<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1r8x454\/call_recording_is_back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Italy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1r144ya\/comment\/o4rv9cb\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Romania<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/pixel_phones\/comments\/1r0z3na\/call_recordings_are_now_available\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Spain<\/a>. Members of the Android Authority team also have access to the feature in France.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"pixel call recording\"  alt=\"pixel call recording\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pixel-call-recording.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"pixel call recording 2\"  alt=\"pixel call recording 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pixel-call-recording-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Google does not specify the list of supported countries, so we cannot confirm which regions support Call Recording on a Pixel phone. Back in November, we had also spotted the feature in India with the beta version of the Phone app. So, it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll see it expand into parts of Asia as well.<\/p>\n<p>While call recording is useful, some countries have laws against it, which could prompt Google to refrain from releasing the feature there. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/how-to-record-calls-without-breaking-law-3505700\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some states in the US require verbal consent<\/a> before the call is recorded. However, if your country does not have rigid laws, you can activate the feature on your Pixel by going to the Phone app\u2019s Settings and then tapping the Call Recording option under the Call Assist header. Note that when you record a call, the other participants will be notified by an audio message.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
