After announcing in September, Google is now widely rolling out Call Recording on Pixel phones that lack AI-powered Call Notes.

    You have to download some “audio files” first

    These must be the ones that announce to the other party that call recording has started. Do you think they check the file checksums or could they be replaced with blank audio?

      They probably don’t check the checksums and it’d be hard to replace without rooting your phone

      So the google can spy on anyone’s phone calls without a consent (google screening), but if you want to record your own phone calls, there needs to be a mandatory warning. Makes total sense :D

      edit: but at least this enables automatic call recording, not just a button, plus automatic deletion of old recordings. This is actually pretty useful.
