Thanks to a new screen recording from a Pixel 8 Pro user in India, we can show you exactly how it works.<\/p>\n<p> Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p>The video, shared with us by Sameer on Telegram, was captured on a Pixel 8 Pro running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-16-features-3484159\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android 16 QPR1 stable<\/a> with the beta version of the Phone app (193.0.809761572-publicbeta). It shows how the feature looks and behaves during an actual call. Check it out below.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, the user first checks the call recording settings, confirming that all the options are enabled. They then call a customer care line and use the Call Assist menu to start recording. After about ten seconds, they hang up and return to the Recents tab, where they expand the call entry to reveal a \u201cCall Recording\u201d playback interface. From there, the audio file is played. Options to share or delete it are also shown.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/phoneapp\/answer\/9803950?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google\u2019s support page<\/a> explains, call recording on Pixels is currently limited to Pixel 6 and later models on Android 14 or higher, and only in regions where it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/how-to-record-calls-without-breaking-law-3505700\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">legally permitted<\/a>. Before recording begins, both parties are notified that the call is being recorded. Recordings are stored locally on the device and can be set to delete automatically after a chosen duration.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we\u2019ve only seen the feature live in India, though a reader in Canada on our previous article also claimed to have received it.
