The popular caller ID app Truecaller has returned its call recording feature, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to make it simple. This feature records calls and stores them locally for better privacy. It can also turn the recording into text, making it easier to navigate. AI technology preserves both sides of the call in high quality, and transcription allows easy summarization.
The transcription feature uses Large Language Model (LLM) technology to generate human-written text with a short subject line. It can find specific information, such as names, dates, and times. Each transcription summarises all call recordings. This feature is currently only available in the US for premium users on Android and iOS. The company plans to gradually launch this feature in other regions in the coming months.
Call recording on Telegram
Telegram’s call recording feature allows users to record incoming and outgoing calls. Although the feature was introduced on Android in 2018, it was later removed due to restrictions on Google’s accessibility API. Now, Truecaller has relaunched the feature, using cloud storage to send recorded calls to users after they end.
However, starting on May 11, 2022, Truecaller will discontinue the call recording function due to the updated Google Developer Policy. Recording phone calls can also be subject to legal requirements in certain countries. Due to privacy concerns, Google has been against call-recording apps and services for many years. As a result, Google’s own Dialer app has also removed call recording.
How to Record Telegram Calls
To record a call with Truecaller, users must merge a recording line provided by the app with the ring they want to record. Once the call ends, they will receive a push notification with the recorded files. Users can tap the Truecaller dialer on Android to start a recording call. Truecaller will show a floating recording button if Android users use another calling app.
Note: The other person will hear a beep to indicate that the call is being recorded, which is different from normal call recording. Users can easily manage recordings by listening to, renaming, sharing, or deleting them.
To record on Android, users can directly access Truecaller’s dialer. Truecaller will show the floating recording button if they use another mobile phone. As for iOS, users must use a call recording line through the Truecaller app and merge the calls. Here are the following steps to guide you through the process:
