One UI 9.5 could allow recording Telegram and WhatsApp voice calls

A lot of One UI 9.5 features and design changes have surfaced this week. A new discovery now reveals that Samsung's stock dialer app could allow you to record voice calls made through third-party VoIP apps, including Google Meet, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

Samsung has offered voice call recording for cellular calls on Galaxy phones for several years. However, many people rely on third-party messaging and calling platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram for day-to-day voice and video calls. Until now, recording those calls was not possible without turning to risky apps.

Fortunately, One UI 9.5 appears to address that limitation. In the Phone app, navigating to Settings > Call recordings and transcripts reveals a new option called Record calls in other apps. Tapping it opens a screen featuring an Available apps section, which currently lists WhatsApp, Google Meet, and Telegram.

As you can see in the screenshot above, each app has a dedicated toggle to enable or disable call recording. However, the availability of this feature could be limited to select countries and regions due to local laws. In some regions, the phone could announce to the person on the other side of the call that their voice is being recorded.

Samsung could expand support to additional third-party calling apps in the future. However, because these were the only compatible calling apps installed on our test device, they were the only ones displayed.

This is a welcome addition to One UI 9.5. By extending Samsung's built-in call recording functionality beyond traditional cellular calls, the feature becomes significantly more practical for anyone who regularly communicates through third-party services.
