How to Disable the ‘This Call is Now Being Recorded’ Warning on OnePlus?

OnePlus smartphones have gained popularity for their flagship-killer features and competitive pricing. One standout feature is the ability to record calls, which is not commonly found on other devices. However, OnePlus devices come with a stock Google Dialer and Contacts app, which may display a warning to the other caller when call recording is initiated. In this guide, we will show you how to disable the ‘This Call is Now Being Recorded’ warning on OnePlus devices.

Why Disable the ‘This Call is Now Being Recorded’ Warning?

The stock Google Dialer app on OnePlus smartphones plays an audio message to inform the other caller that the call is being recorded. This warning can be an annoyance and defeat the purpose of recording a call discreetly. By replacing the stock Google Dialer with the OnePlus Dialer app, you can eliminate the call recording warning and ensure a seamless recording experience.

Step 1: Download and Install OnePlus Dialer App

To disable the call recording warning, you will need to download and install the OnePlus Dialer app on your OnePlus device. Follow these steps:

1. Download the OnePlus Dialer (Phone) APK file from a trusted source.
2. Once downloaded, open the APK file and select ‘Install’.
3. If prompted to enable ‘Apps from Unknown Sources’, allow the permission.
4. Complete the installation process.

Step 2: Set OnePlus Dialer as a Default Dialer

After installing the OnePlus Dialer app, you need to set it as the default dialer on your OnePlus device. Follow these steps:

1. Launch the OnePlus Phone (dialer) app.
2. If prompted, set it as the default dialer app.
3. Tap on the OnePlus Phone app as the Default Phone app and select ‘Set as Default’.

Alternatively, you can set OnePlus Dialer as the default dialer through the Settings app:

1. Open the Settings app on your OnePlus smartphone.
2. Go to Apps and Notifications and select Default Apps.
