Samsung Galaxy: How to Record Phone Calls

Quick summary: In the US and most other places, Samsung Galaxy phones can record calls in the Phone app starting with One UI 7. They can even transcribe and summarize the call for you.

Check your One UI version

Swipe down, tap the gear, then go to About phone > Software information. You need One UI 7.0 or newer.

Set up call recording

1. Open the Phone app, tap the three dots and go to Settings > Record calls.
2. Transcript assist: turn on auto transcribe recorded calls (and auto-detect languages) so every recording gets a transcript.
3. Show notification after recording: turn this on.
4. Delete old recordings: you can have recordings older than one month deleted automatically.

The settings note that people who join or get added to a call later won’t hear the recording announcement, so tell them yourself. You’re responsible for following the laws about recording calls where you live.

Record a call

1. Answer or place a call.
2. Tap the record button. Everyone on the call hears that it’s being recorded, and the top of the screen shows it too.
3. Stop it by tapping the button again or just hanging up. Either way, the recording is saved.

Find, read and summarize recordings

• Recorded calls in the Phone app’s record calls settings lists them all. You can also find them in My Files > Internal storage > Recordings > Call recordings.
• Open one in Voice Recorder to play it, read the transcript (it shows who said what) or tap Summary to get AI bullet points instead of listening to the whole call.
• After you hang up, tap the Call recorded entry in your call log to jump straight to it.

It’s great for saving calls with family, or anything you want to keep a record of.
