News in short
- Samsung One UI 9.5 could let Galaxy users record WhatsApp and Telegram calls through the Phone app.
- An early build reportedly lists WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet as supported apps.
- Users may get separate controls to enable or disable recording for each app.
- Availability could vary by country because call recording laws differ across markets.
Samsung One UI 9.5 may bring a useful call recording feature to third-party apps on Galaxy phones. An option spotted in an early Phone app build suggests users could record calls made through WhatsApp and Telegram. Google Meet also appears in the reported compatibility list.
The feature could let users record supported calls without relying on separate recording apps. However, Samsung has not officially confirmed the functionality or its rollout plans.
Samsung One UI 9.5 may add call recording for third-party apps
According to a SamMobile report, an early version of Samsung’s Phone app includes a new option called “Record calls in other apps”. It reportedly appears under Settings, within the Call recordings and transcripts section.
Selecting the option may open a list of compatible apps. Screenshots cited in the report show WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. Each app reportedly has a separate toggle, allowing users to control call recording individually.
The list could include more apps in the final release. The report suggests these were the only compatible calling apps installed on the test device. Therefore, the current list may not represent the full range of supported services.
Call recording may not include an audio warning
One detail in the reported screenshots could raise privacy questions. Samsung’s Phone app may not play an audio announcement when it records calls made through third-party apps. That could mean the other participant may not receive an automatic warning.
Users should inform other participants before recording a conversation. Call recording and consent rules vary by country and region. Samsung may also adjust the feature to meet local legal requirements.
One UI 9.5 availability remains unconfirmed
Samsung has not announced when One UI 9.5 will arrive or which Galaxy devices will receive the update. It has also not confirmed whether third-party call recording will be available in every market.
The feature would add another capability to Samsung’s Phone app if it reaches the stable release. It follows other reported One UI 9.5 changes, including a possible AI agent upgrade for Bixby. Read our earlier coverage of Samsung’s reported Bixby AI agent features in One UI 9.5.
For now, the call recording option remains an early-build discovery. Samsung’s final feature list, supported apps and regional restrictions are still unknown.
