Calling all Samsung Galaxy S24 owners (and soon others too!): Calling just got a whole lot more flexible with the latest One UI 6.1 update. Samsung has introduced Wi-Fi call recording, a feature that lets you capture conversations even when you're not connected to a cellular network.
Why is this a big deal?
- Record important calls anywhere: Imagine you're on a spotty connection but need to remember details from a crucial call. With Wi-Fi calling recording, you can capture the entire conversation even if your cellular signal drops.
- Boost accessibility: This feature is especially helpful for people with weak cellular reception in their homes or offices. Now, they can still record important calls using their Wi-Fi connection.
- Capture conference calls: Whether you're a remote worker or a student attending online lectures, recording conference calls over Wi-Fi can be invaluable for taking notes or revisiting key points later.
How does it work?
- Make sure you have the latest One UI 6.1 update on your Samsung Galaxy device (currently, S24 series and some other select models).
- Enable Wi-Fi calling in your phone settings.
- Open the phone app and initiate a call.
- During the call, tap the "Record" button.
- The recording will be saved to your phone's storage.
Important notes:
- This feature is currently limited to specific Samsung Galaxy devices and may not be available globally yet.
- Local recording laws and regulations apply. Always obtain consent from all participants before recording a call.
- Check your phone's storage space before recording, as call files can be large.
The future of call recording?
While third-party apps have offered Wi-Fi call recording for some time, Samsung's native integration makes it more convenient and potentially more reliable. This move could signal a broader trend of phone manufacturers offering more robust call recording features, potentially with advanced functionalities like transcription or cloud storage.
