Samsung is reportedly working on letting the Phone app record voice calls made through third-party apps in One UI 9.5. SamMobile found the feature in an early internal One UI 9.5 build on November 10. Samsung’s call recorder currently works only on regular cellular calls, which leaves out the WhatsApp and Telegram voice calls that many people use every day.
The option sits in the Phone app under Settings, then Call recordings and transcripts, and it’s called “Record calls in other apps.” Opening it shows an Available apps list with WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet, each with its own toggle. Those three were the apps installed on the test device, so the final list could be longer.
The screenshots also include a disclaimer saying the feature won’t play a recording notification and that users are responsible for informing the other participants. Samsung’s existing call recorder announces the recording to both sides, so the way this feature works isn’t settled. The feature could be limited to select countries because of local call-recording laws, and Samsung could add a pre-call announcement in some regions.
Samsung hasn’t said which Galaxy devices would get the option, and details such as automatic recording, where files are saved and whether transcripts work with VoIP calls haven’t surfaced. It could also change or disappear before release. Some reports expect the One UI 9.5 beta to open in late November or early December, which would be the first chance to see whether the feature survives. We’ve collected everything known about the update in our One UI 9.5 master page, and the One UI 9.5 beta could arrive sooner than the One UI 8.5 beta did.
