I root my phone so I can record my calls. That's about it. I do other things with root but they aren't the reason.
Why do I want to record my calls? Because my memory is shit and it's nice to just be and to go back to a recording lol
Which App do you use for recording?
I use skvalex's Call Recorder. Been using it around half a decade.
I believe Androids have call recording built in. At least the Google pixels do (I'm on graphene)
I have a Pixel 7 Pro, in the U S. (and some other countries) call recording is disabled by default and sometimes it's possible to get your phone to think it's from a region where it isn't, and then enable it, but I haven't really looked into it recently. It's also really fucked because my state in the U S. allows call recording, so I really feel Google is being lazy by restricting it countrywide.
