Samsung is set to make the lives of Galaxy users even more easier now. Earlier Samsung users other than Galaxy S24 owners were not able to record voice calls in VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) mode. So far, the feature is limited to the Galaxy S24 series, running on OneUI 6.1 based on Android 14 OS, and the same is expected to expand to older models soon. While audio call recording was feasible on Galaxy devices, it was limited to instances where VoWiFi was off or required third-party apps.

Unlike Google Dialer, Samsung's approach does not announce call recording, allowing automatic recording when enabled. Call recording in VoWiFi mode is accessible on Galaxy smartphones using the latest dialer app (version 15.1.66 or newer), covering VoLTE (4G) and VoNR (5G) calls as well.

Phones using OneUI 6 or older versions currently show a pop-up stating 'cannot record WiFi calls' on Samsung devices. This capability is presently restricted to three smartphones, and users can activate VoWiFi calling from the quick setting panel, facilitating both audio and video calls through the Samsung dialer app.

VoWiFi surpasses regular voice calls in audio quality, particularly indoors or in areas with intermittent cellular network coverage. It also prevents call disconnections caused by network issues.

Call recording can prove to be a life-saving feature in some situations. It might be wise to turn on the call recording for every single call that you take so that in case if things go south, you will have at least some sort of evidence to protect yourself with.

How To Automatically Record Calls On A Samsung Galaxy Phone

You have the option to automate call recording, preserving both incoming and outgoing calls on your Galaxy phone. Each recorded call typically consumes a small amount of storage in kilobytes, ensuring that despite recording all voice calls, it does not significantly impact your phone's storage space.

• Launch the Phone app and move to the Keypad menu.
• Tap the three-dot menu at the top and open Settings.
• Open the Record calls menu.
• Turn on the Auto record calls toggle.
