Google is reportedly expanding its Call Recording feature in the Pixel Phone app to more countries, allowing users in these regions to record phone calls directly from their devices.
The move aims to enhance user experience and provide more flexibility in managing conversations. The feature, which first returned to select markets last year, is now reaching additional regions outside the US.
According to recent reports, users in parts of Europe have started seeing the option enabled on their devices.
The tech giant has confirmed that the rollout will continue across supported markets by the end of February, subject to local regulations governing call recording and user consent requirements.
Following the launch of the Google Pixel 10a, Google reiterated that Call Recording would be made available in all eligible markets before the device goes on sale widely.
The feature works on Google Pixel 6 and newer models running Android 14 or later. It does not depend on AI and is separate from the Gemini Nano-based Call Notes feature available on select newer devices. Call Recording does not provide transcripts or summaries.
To enable it, users can open the Phone app, go to Settings, and tap Call Recording under the Call Assist section to begin the setup. During a call, users can press the record button to start recording. An audio announcement informs all participants before the recording begins.
Users can now set the app to automatically record calls from unknown numbers and have the option to delete recordings after 7, 14, or 30 days, or keep them permanently.
