Google turned off call recording feature
Google has turned off the call
record feature on Android phones. Google will ban call recording apps from the
Play Store on May 11. The popular caller identifier app Truecaller has also
made such a decision. The company says the decision was made in accordance with
the new rules of the Google Developer Program. Call recording will not be
available on Truecaller due to Google's update.
Google has long opposed the
call recording app and this service. They think that Android call recording
violates users' privacy policy. As part of this, Google has also introduced a
warning system, which notifies both parties before the recording starts.
Third-party apps can save data
from those call recordings on their own servers, which can lead to security
breaches. That's why Google has decided.
Google says the change only
applies to third-party apps. However, if the device has an inbuilt call
recording feature, it will work. But A-related third party apps cannot be
downloaded and used from the Play Store.
