That's partially related to legal issues. Europe's GDPR makes the entire EU two-party consent (and some jurisdictions like DE/NL actually make secret recordings a crime), a lot of the US states are two-party consent as well... and so, instead of having to deal with compliance with these laws, they just block this ability entirely.
- baobabKoodaa 3y ago> Europe's GDPR makes the entire EU two-party consent This is false. Finland is part of the EU and recording conversations in Finland only requires one-party consent.
- lozenge 3y agoSurely they can provide the option, it's up to the end user to seek legally necessary consent before activating the recording feature.
- pjc50 3y agoGDPR makes the legality of recording personal information depend on who you are and what you intend to do with it. It's not a blanket ban, and in particular it's fine to record your own calls to a corporation, which by definition cannot have personal data.
- dento 3y ago> Europe's GDPR makes the entire EU two-party consent False. A business might be required to inform you that they are recording, but many EU member states have one-party consent laws otherwise. For instance, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland and Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_call_recording_laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_call_recording_laws
