One UI 9.5 may let Samsung phones record WhatsApp calls

A leak says Samsung's One UI 9.5 will let the stock Phone app record WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet calls, with a separate switch for each app.

Samsung phones have recorded ordinary phone calls for years. Recording a WhatsApp call, though, has meant hunting for a third-party app. A new leak suggests One UI 9.5 will fix that, with call recording for WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet built into the Phone app.

How would One UI 9.5 call recording work?

According to the leak, the feature sits in the Phone app's settings under an option called "Record calls in other apps". Each supported app gets its own toggle, so you could record WhatsApp calls and leave Telegram alone.

The leaked build only has it working with WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. It is likely Samsung will add other apps in later updates, but that is an expectation, not something the leak confirms.

Why does it matter?

Calls made over the internet (VoIP, in the jargon) have not been recordable with Samsung's own tools. People who wanted to do it usually turned to outside apps, which are often unreliable and not always safe. Doing it inside the system itself is the safer route.

Will it be available everywhere?

Probably not. Recording laws differ from country to country, so availability may depend on your country or region. In some places the software may have to play an audible alert telling the other person the call is being recorded.

The details come from a leak of a test version, so the final feature could change before One UI 9.5 reaches phones. Samsung has not announced it.
