Call Recording arrives on US Samsung phones with One UI 7

Samsung One UI 7 enables a Call Recording feature for US Galaxy users. Galaxy phones already have an auto call recording feature. However, the company barred it on US models due to legal restrictions.

One UI 7 makes things slightly better for US residents who prefer recording a phone call. The way to record calls is slightly different and there’s no option to enable auto call record. Still, it’s a nice development, enabling the feature in the US.

Apple also introduced the AI call transcripts feature with the latest iOS 18 update. It’s the first time iPhones can record phone calls. However, you need to start call recording each time manually you want to record as there’s no automation.

Call Recording in One UI is an OS-integrated feature on Galaxy phones. You can access it right from the stock dialer (Samsung Phone app). In One UI 7, you can only record calls using the call transcripts feature.

First, enable the Galaxy AI-powered Call Transcripts feature on your Samsung phone running One UI 7. A transcription icon will appear when the call is connected, tapping it, you can start recording the phone’s voice call.

The page will notify you that the other person will hear “this call is being recorded” before the recording starts. Once the call ends, expand the contact card to access “View recording and transcript.”

Call transcript brings call recording ability to US users, but it’s a great tool for international users too. Beyond audio-based recording, the transcripts will offer the readable, copyable, and editable text of the conversation held through phone calls.

The new Call transcript feature is available now in Beta of One UI 7. The stable rollout is expected to start in mid-February next year. The public version will be introduced along with the Galaxy S25 series later next month.
