I always wondered why Android disabled call recording.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoIIRC Google claimed something along the lines of "for your own privacy and security".
- varispeed 6y agoAnd yet they don't disable cameras that you can use to secretly record someone...
- herbst 6y agoCould also be because recording calls without telling is highly illegal in a lot if not all of europe. There are still apps that can do that afaik
- varispeed 6y agoIn my country (UK) it is legal, so there is no reason for them really to disable that.
- manishjhawar 6y agoIn most of the customer support calls I make, I speak up right after connecting that I'm recording the call for legal purposes while the IVR plays. It's a bit tricky for marketing calls received, but I try nonetheless.
