Hi people, I was wondering if anyone of you knew a good call recording app for Android? I’m starting soon a new job and it involves a lot of interviewing, and I was thinking of recording these phone interviews for note taking. My company doesnt provide software for it, just a work phone. It’s (presumably) running Android 12 or similar.

Some preliminary googling revealed that there maybe are some apps for it after the 22’ Google’s policy change, but I’m not sure what to trust. If you have any knoweledge on this issue I would greatly appreciate any nuggets of info!

I’m located in the EU/Nordics, if thats relevant.

Btw update for anyone stumbling upon this: I could not get any of the (unrooted) options working, so sadly I had to resort to the old fashioned “speaker phone call and digital recorder” -method.

Still, I thank you everyone for your suggestions and hopefully future Android versions can get this functionality back.

Sadly I’m guessing that I wont get to root that work phone, but thanks for the recommendation in case I decide to root my own!

Just read the news about Truecaller premium having a call recorder in case that’s something you want.

Hey I just posted about this on m/androidapps! Here the link of the post
https://kbin.social/m/androidapps/t/54826/Missing-an-Automatic-Call-Recorder-ACR-is-the-solution
TLDR: use ACR 33.3-unChained (link in thread)

I recently had to dig into this rabbit hole and found that to my knowledge https://acr.app/ is the only current solution. I’m on Android 13 and it’s working great.

Does have a kinda convoluted setup and requires accessibility access but blame Google for all that.
