One UI 9.5 may let Samsung record WhatsApp, Telegram calls

Samsung may add the ability to record voice calls made through third-party VoIP apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram in a forthcoming One UI 9.5 update, according to a recent report.

Call-recording control in the Phone app

The reported implementation places the new option inside Samsung's stock Phone app. Users would navigate to Settings > Call recordings and transcripts > Record calls in other apps to see installed VoIP apps that support recording. Each compatible app would have a toggle to enable or disable call recording.

Apps shown and how the feature appears

A screenshot the source shared showed WhatsApp, Meet and Telegram listed as compatible apps. The source noted only those three apps were installed on the device used for the screenshot, so the list of supported apps could be longer on other phones.

• WhatsApp
• Meet
• Telegram

Rollout status, existing capabilities and legal limits

Samsung is currently rolling out the stable One UI 9 update to eligible Galaxy devices, and plans to release One UI 9.5 before One UI 10. The company has not announced a release date for One UI 9.5. Samsung phones already allow recording of cellular calls through the stock dialer, but recording VoIP calls from apps such as WhatsApp typically requires third-party workarounds today.

The report cautions the VoIP call-recording feature may be limited to specific countries depending on local laws and regulations; where it is permitted, the feature should work as described in the Phone app settings.
