Disable Announcements of Call Recording on Android (Realme, Oppo,Xiaomi ,OnePlus and etc.)

Are you tired of receiving call recording announcements while making important calls on your Android phone? You're not alone. Many Android users are looking for ways to disable this
feature, especially after Google made it mandatory for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to preinstall Google Dialer and Messages apps in 2020. This led to the removal of stock dialer and messaging apps developed by each device manufacturer, which had a call recording feature that didn't announce the recording. In this article, we will show you how to record calls without an announcement or warning on all Android phones, including Realme, Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo, iQOO, and Xiaomi.

What is call recording announcement?

Before we proceed, let's define what call recording announcement is. It's a feature that notifies both parties on a call that the conversation is being recorded. This feature is mandatory in some countries, while optional in others. Call recording announcement aims to protect the privacy of the participants and ensure that they're aware of the recording.

Is it legal to disable call recording announcement?

Before we proceed with the guide, it's important to note that the legality of disabling call recording announcement varies by jurisdiction. In some countries, it's illegal to disable the announcement, while in others, it's legal as long as all parties on the call consent to the recording. It's essential to familiarize yourself with the laws in your area before proceeding

Why Disable Call Recording Announcements?

Before we discuss how to disable call recording announcements, it is essential to understand why some users want to turn them off. Call recording announcements are automated messages that play at the beginning of each call to notify both parties that the call is being recorded. While this feature can be helpful in some situations, it can be irritating to hear these messages repeatedly during long calls. Some users may also prefer to keep their call recordings private, and hearing announcements can give away that they are recording the call.

How to Disable Call Recording Announcements on Android

Here are the steps to disable call recording announcements on different Android devices:

Best and Easy Methods:

If you're a OnePlus or Oppo phone user, you may have noticed that the new Google Dialer app does not allow you to record calls without an announcement. Fortunately, there is an easy way to sideload the old ColorOS Dialer app, which lets you record calls without any announcement. In this method, we will demonstrate the steps on how to use the stock ColorOS dialer and record calls on OnePlus and Oppo phones without the call recording warning.

Once you have downloaded the APK file, make sure to enable the "Unknown Sources" option in your phone's settings so that you can install the app.

Step 2: Install the Old ColorOS Dialer App

Next, install the old ColorOS Dialer app by opening the APK file and following the installation instructions. Once the app is installed, make sure to set it as your default dialer app by going to your phone's settings and selecting the "Apps" option. Then, select the old ColorOS Dialer app and tap on "Set as default."

Step 3: Record Calls Without Announcement

Now that you have installed the old ColorOS Dialer app and set it as your default dialer app, you can start recording calls without any announcement or warning.
