If you have just purchased a new Android device, you will have Google Phone as the default calling/dialer app. This is because Google made it mandatory for Android phones to use Google Phone as the default calling/dialer app.
Google Phone is useful and offers many interesting features, but many users were unhappy with it. The reason for that is the Caller Recording Announcement, which informs other users that you are recording the call.
If you use the Google Phone app to make and receive calls, you can’t record calls without the call recording announcement. When you try to record calls, the Google Phone app plays ‘This call is now being recorded’ audio on both sides.
It is Google’s policy to play the call recording announcement in the Google Phone app to preserve users’ privacy. However, there could be some circumstances where playing the call recording alert would be problematic. For example, while recording a call for legal evidence, announcing the recording could negate the whole purpose.
Likewise, you may want to record specific calls for your own reasons, but the call recording announcement would ruin the whole purpose of recording. What’s worst is that the Google Phone app doesn’t provide any option to disable the call recording alert.
