Your Pixel can finally keep receipts of your calls

What’s happened? A few months ago, Google announced plans to expand call-recording functionality to more Pixel phones, calling it a “fundamentally useful feature.” The rollout is reportedly underway, and the feature is now available on Pixel 6 and newer models with the latest Phone app update.

Why is this important? The call recording feature is a significant addition, as it finally gives Pixel users a native way to record calls after Google banned third-party call recording apps.

Why should I care? If you own a Pixel 6 or newer, you can now record calls directly in the Phone app without relying on dodgy apps or shoddy workarounds.

What’s next? The call recording feature is reportedly available in version 198 of Google’s Phone app on Pixel 6 and newer models. However, Android Authority notes that users may have to install the November Pixel Drop for the Call Recording settings to appear in the app.
