In an exciting update, Google has expanded its Phone app capabilities, bringing native call recording to Pixel 6 and older models running Android 14 and above. The new feature is available through the latest stable version of the Google Phone app (v198+), which means more Pixel users can now enjoy recording calls directly from their device.
How to Enable Call Recording on Your Pixel
For those with older Pixel phones, enabling call recording is easy. Simply ensure that you’ve installed the latest Google Phone app update and follow these steps:
- Open the Phone app and go to Settings.
- Select Call Assist.
- Toggle the Call Recording option on.
Once activated, you can either manually record calls from the dialer or set up automatic recording for unknown numbers or specific contacts. This is especially useful for those who need to keep records of important conversations or simply want to ensure they don’t miss any details.
Additional Features in the November Pixel Feature Drop
Along with the call recording feature, the November Pixel Feature Drop also brings Call Notes to select countries, including Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and Japan. This AI-powered suite includes features like transcriptions and summaries, allowing users to easily reference key points from their phone calls.
The Growing Importance of Pixel Features
With this update, Google continues to enhance the user experience on its Pixel devices, giving owners more control over their calls and boosting productivity. The addition of call recording and Call Notes is a big win for Pixel users, making these phones even more appealing for those who rely on smartphones for work, communication, and convenience.
