The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-call-recording-2-3602189\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promised<\/a> to bring the feature to Pixel 6 and newer devices back in September, and it appears that rollout is now well underway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Google had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-call-recording-3598192\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">updated its support page<\/a> in September to say that Pixel 6 and above would gain call recording, the option wasn\u2019t actually live for most users at the time. We can now confirm that call recording is available on our Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro Fold after updating the Phone by Google app. In our case, the upgrade from version 195.0 to version 200.0 of the public beta turned the feature on, though <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/11\/13\/pixel-phone-call-recording\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9to5Google<\/a> reports seeing it appear on the stable version 198 as well.<\/p>\n<p>It also appears that you\u2019ll need the November Pixel Drop installed to enable call recording in the Phone by Google app. We updated the app on a Pixel 8 Pro that hadn\u2019t yet received the November update, and the feature didn\u2019t show up. Once we installed the system update, the Call Recording option appeared in the Phone app.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Pixel Call Recording Settings\"  alt=\"Pixel Call Recording Settings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pixel-Call-Recording-Settings.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Adamya Sharma \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>If you have a supported Pixel phone, you can turn on call recording by going to <strong>Settings &gt; Call Assist &gt; Call Recording<\/strong> in the Phone app. You can manually record calls, automatically record calls from specific numbers, or even set it to capture calls from unknown or non-contact numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Once you turn on Call Recording, you\u2019ll see a prompt the first time you place a call after enabling the feature. You\u2019ll also get a notice explaining how Google handles your recordings and how the person on the other end is informed when a recording begins.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s requirements for call recording are a little different depending on the device. Non-Pixel phones using the Phone app can record calls if they\u2019re running Android 9 or newer. Meanwhile, Pixel phones must be Pixel 6 or newer and running Android 14 or higher to use the feature.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/how-to-record-calls-without-breaking-law-3505700\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legal status of call recording<\/a> varies by region. Depending on where you are, you may need consent from the other party before recording a conversation. To help with this, the Phone app automatically plays an announcement or beep to inform the other person that the call is being recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
