Google is shutting down call recording apps
With the policy change that will take effect from May 11, 2022, developers will be restricted from accessing Android’s Accessibility API. According to Google’s statement, this API is now request audio recording of remote calls cannot be used for the purpose.
In Android 10, call recording was blocked by default. However, the developers were able to circumvent this and keep their call recording apps afloat through Android’s Accessibility API. Currently, when you install a call recorder, you need to give permission from the Accessibility section of your phone to activate it.
With its new policy, Google has blocked this method and completely disabled call recording applications. On the other hand, as with the Google Pixel, call recorder software built into the phone Since it doesn’t need to access the Accessibility API It will continue to work after May 11.
Third-party software installed from the Google Play Store and an external source as APKs require certain permissions (such as Accessibility) to use some of their functions. However, since the system apps are pre-installed on the phone, they can run without the need for permission. Applications Although it is possible to integrate it into the system with root permissionThe reliability of this method is always open to debate.
