How to Record Calls Using Truecaller on Android

The ability to record calls on your Android device is a feature which only a few smartphone manufacturers include by default. Since call recording is illegal in many countries, it deters manufacturers from including this service by default. While I can understand why these laws exist, I cannot deny the fact that call recording is a very handy feature to have. I personally record all my work calls just to make sure that I never forget what was discussed. That’s why I was so happy when Truecaller (free, in-app purchases), which is the most popular callerID app in the world, started supporting the call recording feature. If you didn’t know this before, stick around, as we show you how you can record calls using Truecaller on your Android device:

While the Truecaller app is available on both Android and iOS platforms, the call recording service is currently only available on Android devices. Also, not all the devices are supported equally so you will have to test it on your personal device to see if the feature is working properly or not. You can find the list of currently supported and unsupported devices in the table below.

I tested this feature on my personal OnePlus 3 and it works extremely well. In fact, this was one of the best call recordings I have gotten using any third-party app. Also, if you checked the list closely, you will notice that the OnePlus 3 was not on it, and yet, the feature worked flawlessly for me. Do note that this feature is not free. You can check it out using the 14-day free trial after which you will have to pay ₹49/month to keep using this feature.

      Launch the app and you will find the subscription in the side panel. Truecaller Subscription has nothing to do with your SIM recharge so it will be okay.
