Google bans all call recording apps from Play Store

The Cupertino-based tech giant has been against call recording apps and services for several years. That’s because the company believes recording calls to be an invasion of users’ privacy. Due to the same, the call recording feature on Google’s own Dialer app comes with a loud and clear “this call is now being recorded” alert, heard clearly on both sides before recording begins.

Google has clarified that the change will only affect third-party apps. This means call recording on the Google Dialer will still function if it is available on your device or region. This also clarifies that any preloaded Dialer app with a call recording feature will work perfectly fine.

Only apps with a call recording feature available on the Google Play store will be killed.

Truecaller removes call recording feature

A day after Google announced the banning of call recording apps, Truecaller revealed removing the call recording feature from its platform. “As per the updated Google Developer Program policies, we are unable to offer call rcordings any longer. This will not affect devices that have call recording built into the device natively,” a Truecaller spokesperson said.
