The publication notes that Google is slowly withdrawing support and removing the APIs that are used to record calls in different versions of Android.. The company does this for user privacy reasons, and also because the laws governing call recording vary from country to country..

Android 10 disable call recording by default.

So developers started using Accessibility API for this. However, after the new restrictions come into force, this will also not be possible..

We are talking about recording calls by third-party applications.. Built-in similar functions, such as Google Pixels or Xiaomi smartphones, will continue to work.

Previously, Google removed dozens of programs from its app store because it discovered that they contain a software element that can secretly collect data.
