Technology Desk | Nowadays calling has become common through WhatsApp, but many times the necessary conversation needs to be recorded. The question arises whether WhatsApp calls can be recorded? The answer is yes, but with some limitations and legal conditions. Let’s know what options are present for Android and iPhone users and what is important to take care of.

First legal warning

In many countries including India, it is mandatory to get the permission of another party before call recording. Recording calls without information can be a legal offense. Therefore, before the recording, take the consent of the person concerned.

Options for Android phone users

Option 1: Use of third-party apps like Cube ACR

• Cube ACR is a popular call recording app that claims to record WhatsApp calls on some devices.
• Download it from Google Play Store.
• Give the app permission for microphone, accessibility and overlay.
• It can start automatic recording during WhatsApp calls.

Note: On Android 10 and subsequent version, Google has limited audio access for call recording, so that it does not work on all devices.

Option 2: Recording through screen recorder

• Turn on the phone’s inbuilt screen recorder.
• Enable microphone audio before starting recording.
• Take WhatsApp calls on speaker mode so that the sound of both sides can be recorded.

This method works, but the voice of another person can be weak.

Options for iPhone users

Call recording on iPhone is not possible due to Apple’s safety policies, but some alternative methods can be adopted:

Option 1: Recording through MAC

• Connect the iPhone to the MAC.
• Open the QuickTime Player in Mac and turn on screen recording.
• Call and record from WhatsApp web or desktop app.

Option 2: Use calls on speakerphone and another device

• Take the call on the speaker.
• Record voice from another mobile or recorder device.

Caution and suggestions

• Do not misuse call recording.
• It can be mandatory to inform the second party before the recording.
• Protect the recorded file and maintain privacy.

Recording WhatsApp calls should be done completely with technical and legal understanding. While Android users can get some apps and tricks, the path is slightly complicated for iPhone users. But the most important thing is to take the permission of another person before the recording, because your convenience does not become a violation of one’s privacy.
