Google Brings Call Recording For Older Pixels

Pixel users, rejoice! Native call recording is landing on your devices, specifically the Pixel 6 series and newer running Android 14 or higher. Even if you’re missing out on the AI-powered Call Notes, you’re still getting this sweet upgrade. Google Phone app version 198+ is your ticket. The best part? Your recordings stay local, right on your device, for maximum privacy.

Google rolls out call recording to Pixel 6 and later models

Unleash a hidden superpower on your older Pixel! Dive into your Phone app, summon the settings from the hamburger menu, and unlock "Call Assist." Flip the "Call Recording" switch to ON. Boom! During calls, a brand new "Call Assist" menu pops up – right beside the audio emoji. Get ready to record those crucial conversations.

The moment you tap ‘Record,’ a confirmation screen appears – your last chance to back out. But once you proceed, brace yourself: a notification blares, letting everyone on the line know they’re being recorded.

You can delete all call recordings instantly

A telltale red dot whispers a secret next to your call’s duration: this conversation is being captured. Need to silence the recording? Dive into the Call Assist menu and tap "Stop." Later, relive the conversation by heading to the Home tab in your phone app. Calls immortalized with recordings are easily spotted – a discreet microphone icon now sits beside the contact’s name. Tap the entry, and the M3 Expressive audio player blooms open, ready to replay every word.

Tired of call recordings cluttering your digital life? Google’s got you covered! Now, you can set your recordings to self-destruct after 7, 14, or 30 days – poof, gone! Need a clean slate? Nuke all your recordings instantly. Or, if you’re a digital packrat, keep ’em forever. But wait, there’s more! Google can be your personal recording assistant, automatically capturing calls from mysterious, unknown numbers and even designated contacts. Never miss a detail again, and keep your storage tidy while you’re at it.

Beyond call recording, the November Pixel Feature Drop unlocks enhanced call experiences in Canada, India, Ireland, Australia, and Japan! Imagine effortlessly capturing key details with real-time transcriptions and AI-powered summaries – Call Notes are here to revolutionize your conversations.
