This is in the native phone app. I’m in the US. Definitely didn’t have this feature before. It announces when you start recording.
I know it’s been a thing with some other phones and in other countries, but hey it’s cool to have it on my Pixel 8.

so the call recording stays on the device yet they added a tos for it?
what trick is this? could someone link this tos?
this is just a response to apple offering this function on iphones.for ages google blocked call recording and since apple started implementing it they turned it on now? lol.
As a person in a one-party-consent state, it absolutely infuriates me that it announces the recording is happening.
you should know if you are recorded. its a good thing.
Suggesting that I need some other party’s permission to record is as absurd as saying I need their permission to remember.
you can record without consent if you want. but you can be sued and pay damages if the recording goes in public/you share it with other people etc in some countries is ilegal to record without consent.
No, I can be sued and ignore the court with impunity because there’s a thing called “jurisdiction” and they don’t have it.
You don’t seem to get it: there is absolutely nothing wrong with me recording without the other party’s knowledge and they have no power to impose their will on me otherwise because the governing law is the one in my jurisdiction, not theirs!
Don’t like it? Too bad.
Another reason to hate google. This feature got taken away for legal reasons in many regions. The Google dialer app is absolute trash now after the last big update.
It wasn’t “taken away”, it was removed. But it’s an extremely useful feature.
take away means remove
No it doesn’t. “Taken away” means it was taken by a third party. That’s not what happened. Google removed it themselves.
no, it doesn’t matter who took it
Yes. It does. The phrase implies force. Google cannot “take” something that they already own.
lol sure, sure
Haha right, right
