Samsung Galaxy phones offer several advanced features that stock Android devices, such as Google Pixel, do not. One standout capability is the native option to record phone calls, which can be incredibly useful for various reasons, whether it’s capturing important business discussions, keeping a record of significant conversations, or simply referring back to a chat later.

It’s important to note that the availability of the call recording feature on Samsung phones varies by region due to legal restrictions and privacy concerns. In some countries, recording phone calls without the consent of the other party is illegal. If you are in an unsupported region, your Samsung Galaxy device may not display the call recording option at all. In that case, there isn’t much you can do, as using third-party call recording apps often requires complicated setup or rooting the device.

Even if the call recording option is available on your Samsung Galaxy phone, it’s a good idea to check local laws to ensure that recording calls is legal and whether it requires consent from the other party. Once you’re clear on the legalities, you can easily record calls on your Samsung Galaxy device, either manually or automatically.
Recording A Phone Call Manually On Samsung Galaxy
If you don’t need to record every call you receive or make, your Samsung Galaxy phone offers the option to manually start recording directly from the call screen, which is convenient for capturing important conversations on an as-needed basis. Before you begin, note that call recording is unavailable during Wi-Fi calling, so ensure that Wi-Fi calling is disabled if you plan to use this feature. With that in mind, here’s how you can manually record calls on your Samsung Galaxy phone:
- Open the Phone app on your Samsung Galaxy device and initiate or accept the call you want to record.
- Once you’re on the call screen, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner and select the Record call option.
- You’ll see a REC icon at the top, indicating that the call is being recorded.
- You can stop the recording at any time during the call by tapping the three-dot icon again and selecting Stop recording.

Note that Samsung Galaxy phones do not play a pre-recorded message to notify participants that the call is being recorded, so make sure to obtain consent from other participants if required by local laws. After the recording is saved, you’ll receive a notification confirming it, and you can access the recording later.
Enabling Automatic Call Recordings On Samsung Galaxy
Samsung Galaxy devices also include an automatic call recording feature, providing a convenient way to securely save phone conversations. You can configure your phone to automatically record every incoming and outgoing call, or you can choose to record only calls from unfamiliar numbers or specific contacts. To enable the automatic call recording feature on your Samsung Galaxy phone:
- Open the Phone app on your Galaxy device, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner, and select Settings.
- Tap Record calls and select the Auto record calls option.
- Enable the toggle at the top and select one of the three options: All calls, Calls with unsaved numbers, or Calls with specific numbers.

If you select Calls with specific numbers, tap Numbers to auto record, then add the contacts from which you want to record calls automatically. Once you do that, your Samsung phone will only record calls from those specified contacts. However, you can still manually record other calls as needed.
How To View Or Delete Saved Call Recordings
Any phone calls recorded on your Samsung Galaxy phone are saved to the device’s internal storage. After the call ends, you will receive a notification that allows you to either listen to or delete the recording directly. Alternatively, you can access your recordings through the Recents tab in the Phone app, where you’ll see a small microphone icon next to the contact’s name or number for recorded calls. Tapping this icon will allow you to listen to the saved call.
To view all your call recordings in one place, open the Phone app, and tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner, then choose Settings. From there, select Record calls, and then choose Recorded calls from the menu. This will open all your recorded calls in the My Files app, allowing you to tap on any entry to listen to it. If you want to delete or share a recording, simply long-press the desired file and choose the appropriate option.
