Truecaller Will Discontinue Call Recording Feature in its App
Truecaller, a popular voice calling app with millions of users has announced that the call recording option will be removed. This is consistent with Google’s newly announced rules. Google said on May 11 that third-party applications would no longer be able to offer voice-calling recording in Android handsets. From May 11, none of the voice call recording apps will work on Android devices.
Truecaller, which allows users to record phone calls, is discontinuing the service. Until now, users could utilize the recording feature of the app for free. However, because it is not an in-built option for Android smartphones, it will be removed from the app.

Google will continue to allow voice call recording, but only with its own system
Only pre-loaded and in-built Google features will be able to record voice calls. Users will still be able to record voice calls, but only through third-party programs. Many organizations provide voice-calling recording tools pre-installed in their default calling software on their cellphones.
Truecaller will stop the feature for its subscribers, according to a News18 report. Users can still record voice calls by turning on the device’s speakers and recording the discussion on another phone.
Google intends to improve privacy by ensuring that users’ calls are not recorded without their permission. Currently, the Google app for voice calling that comes pre-installed on most smartphones has a call recording feature, but it notifies both or all persons on the call that the recording has begun. This allows consumers the ability to record calls while protecting everyone’s privacy. Google’s move has elicited diverse emotions around the world, with some people relieved and others upset.

Recently, pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro were started. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst has reported sales of around 160,000 to 180,000 units of the Vision Pro. In context to the sales of Apple Vision Pro, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters revealed in an interview that there is no need for the Netflix app in Apple’s VR headset.
In that interview, Peters also defined that the number of subscribers can’t justify the attempts to port an app for a platform. In the future, there may be a Netflix app for Apple’s VR headset, but currently, Netflix is adopting a wait-and-see approach. For now, YouTube and Spotify have no plans for dedicated apps.
As we also mentioned in the recent post of the Apple Vision Pro, you can use the apps via the browser in the Vision Pro. Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming services are available on the Apple Vision Pro, which features “Apple Immersive Video” with Spatial Audio and 180° 3D footage in 8K resolution.
Similarly, Netflix has also a VR app which was launched in back 2015, that also offers VR Content and includes a 360° video for the Stranger Things Series, but for now, it’s not available in Apple Vision Pro. Netflix has a ton of VR movies that you can also check out.
