How to Enable Call Recording on OnePlus Open In Any Country

The OnePlus Open is a highly regarded foldable smartphone that offers a seamless blend of slab phone and foldable technology. If you are a proud owner of the OnePlus Open, you may have noticed that the device comes with Google Dialer as the default dialer app. While the Google Dialer supports call recording, it may not be available in all countries and regions. But don’t worry, we have got you covered! In this article, we will share two methods to enable call recording on your OnePlus Open in any country, whether for incoming or outgoing calls. We will also show you how to record calls automatically and disable call recording announcements. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

Enable Call Recording In Any Country (Google Dialer)

Google’s Phone app, commonly known as the Google Dialer, does not allow users from all countries to record calls. Even in countries where it is allowed, Google announces loudly that the call is being recorded, which may not be ideal for users who simply want to record calls as evidence or reminders. However, there is a way to bypass this limitation and enable call recording in any country. This solution was suggested by XDA member AMooza on a forum. Follow the steps below to enable call recording on your OnePlus Open:

2. Once installed, set the OnePlus Dialer as the default dialer app and the OnePlus Contacts as the default contacts app for your phone.

By following these steps, you can enable call recording on your OnePlus Open using ODialer, without any regional or legal restrictions.
