About this guide

Samsung's own Phone app can record calls, for example to keep a record of an agreement. The other people are told by an announcement. Recording laws differ by country: in many places everyone must agree, so tell people anyway.

Good to know

If you see no Record button, check the One UI version: Samsung says call recording needs One UI 7 or later.

Voice transcription, at the top of the Record calls page, can turn recordings into text. Samsung says it needs a Samsung account and is not offered on some A-series phones.

In short: During a call: Record. Recordings: Phone, Settings, Record calls, Recorded calls.
