Love this. If only call recording were built into this app... Even as a root-only feature, that'd be great.
The problem is probably a legality thing. In Germany for example AFAIK people need to be told they are recorded and must accept to this. So by implementing such a feature, you need to adhere to local laws, which differ from country to country and may make it way to complex and dangerous to implement.
Isn't following the local law the end user's responsibility? Like how in the US it's not lawful for me to install and use certain patented codecs without buying a license. (We all do, anyway.) Would it be "illegal software" or would it just make it easier for the end user to violate the law?
That's not the case here in Sweden. Recording is legal here, it's super infuriating no call app supports recording for the reason of legality in other countries.
It's supported on my GrapheneOS install, maybe check it out if you have a Pixel
Well, I live in a One Party Consent country. But I guess it's difficult to manage that.
