Call Recording has been restricted for some time on Android in varying regions, though the feature made somewhat of a reappareance in the form of Call Notes \u2013 an AI tool that takes recordings and breaks them down into written summaries.<\/p>\n<p>The Pixel\u2019s full Call Recording function is seemingly joining the Call Notes and <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/08\/20\/pixel-10-magic-cue-launch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Magic Cue<\/a> in the Phone app for some. According to a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-call-recording-example-3601192\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority<\/a>, one user has spotted the option on their Pixel 8 Pro. The Phone app on that device was the newest beta build \u2013 193.0.809761572-publicbeta. Google seems to be testing the feature before making it more widely available.<\/p>\n<p>Call Recording appears as an option in the app settings, right under Caller ID &amp; Spam. Settings for the reemerging function looks similar to what\u2019s seen in Call Notes. It can be turned on or off entirely, and it can be triggered automatically with non-contacts, or specified numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>In an active call, the Call Recording option appears in the Call Assist pill, similar to Call notes. Once tapped, it begins automatically. The recorded call is then viewable in the calling card from the Recents section.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"460\" data-id=\"690395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Call-Recording-Phone-beta.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-690395\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"460\" data-id=\"690396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Call-Recording-Phone-beta-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-690396\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>It looks like the feature isn\u2019t rolling out widely just yet, though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GooglePixel\/comments\/1nqb6qg\/google_pixel_phones_are_finally_getting_the_call\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some users have reported<\/a> it\u2019s available for them in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. It was also noted that a recommendation card appears with the feature, so it\u2019ll be obvious when it becomes available for more users.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s support page details which devices will be able to use Call Recording. Pixel 6 devices and later will be eligible, and other devices running Android 9 and up will be able to use the function. It isn\u2019t clear in which regions the function will be made available.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Andrew: <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/andrewromero.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chaosromero\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@organizedchaos50\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1757354947_724_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1757354948_194_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After subtly updating the help page on Call Recording, Google seems to be gearing up to bring the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-43077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
