The way we recall how a conversation went and how they actually
happened is quite different from how they actually went. You would learn
quite a bit by listening to conversations a second time. While some
smartphones are equipped with the ability to record conversations, there
are options available in the form of third-party apps that allow you to
record the conversations that you have.
Truecaller is an app that is
quite famous for its ability to identify caller IDs, they recently
introduced a feature that allows in-call recording. They have begun to
roll out this feature for the masses.
How to record phone calls using TrueCaller
Unfortunately, you need to sign up for a premium membership in order to
try the app out. On the plus side, you get a trial period of 14 days to
test the app out. The premium membership comes at Rs. 49 per month or
Rs. 449 per year.
In order to use Truecaller’s recording feature, you need to follow the
steps given below:
Step 1: Download and install Truecaller, if you haven’t already done so,
or update the app to the latest version.
Step 2: Log in to the app using your Truecaller ID or create an ID if
you don’t already have one.
Step 3: Go to the home page of the Truecaller app. Click on the
hamburger menu that is available on the left, and then click on “Call
Recordings.”
Step 4: You will see an option to start a trial version of the premium
version (if you haven’t already signed up for it). If you haven’t
already signed up for the premium version of the app, you have to accept
the terms of usage, and after you’ve done that, you will need to give
the app the permission to record and store on internal storage.
Step 5: After completing the steps given below, click on “view recording
settings” that is available on the nest screen. You will have the
option of choosing between 'auto’ and 'manual’ modes. The auto mode will
record calls automatically while the manual mode provides you with a
small icon that you can tap on the screen every time you get a call.
You
have the option of choosing when to start a recording and stop it, you
will need to manually hit the start and stop record buttons.
The conversations that you end up recording will be saved in your
internal storage (this is the reason why you initially gave permission
to the app to record and store on internal storage).
On the other hand,
the app, unfortunately, doesn’t allow you to save the recordings on
external storage.
But you also need to keep in mind that with Android 9 Pie, Google has
removed the option to natively record calls. When tested out with Pixel 2
XL, it was found that you couldn’t use this feature. This means that,
if you happen to be using Android Pie, you will not be able to record
conversations using Truecaller until Google enables this feature.
