How to turn off call recording announcements on Android Google Dialer

Recording calls is something that most of us do, however, for a variety of reasons. I do record calls if somebody is giving me some information, like phone numbers, addresses, or a step-by-step guide for something, if a notebook is not available nearby, while others might record calls as a sort of evidence if something goes wrong, or as a memento. Whatever the reason may be for recording calls, if you are on Android, chances are high that Google’s dialer is set as the default dialer on your phone, except for Samsung, or a few other phones. 

In Google Dialer, every time you try recording a call, the announcement will be audible to the person you are talking with saying that the call is being recorded. But today there is a way to stop this announcement, and record calls almost without informing the other party. That said, today I will talk about how to turn off call recording announcements on Android if you are using the Google dialer on your device.

So, without any further delay, let’s get started with how to turn off call recording announcements on Android.

Well, you are now ready to record calls without the announcement being made. If you can’t find the option, updating the app, or installing the latest Android update should help.

However, that doesn’t mean the other party won’t be notified. The other party will hear a tone when the call recording starts. Even if you have set automatic call recording, the other party will hear the tone whenever the call is being recorded.
