Samsung is currently rolling out the stable One UI 9 update to eligible Galaxy devices, and before releasing One UI 10, it will release One UI 9.5. The Korean brand hasn’t announced One UI 9.5’s release date yet, but when it arrives, it may include a rumored feature many of its rivals don’t have.
We are talking about the rumored ability to record voice calls made through third-party VoIP apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Samsung smartphones already let you record cellular calls made through its stock dialer app, but you can’t record voice calls made through apps like WhatsApp without resorting to risky workarounds.
With One UI 9.5, recording voice calls made through apps like WhatsApp and Telegram would be easier. Just open the stock Phone app on your Galaxy smartphone and go to Settings > Call recordings and transcripts > Record calls in other apps menu. There, you’ll see a list of VoIP apps installed on your smartphone that support voice call recording, along with a toggle button next to each one to enable or disable it.
The screenshot below shows WhatsApp, Meet, and Telegram as compatible apps, because the source only had these apps installed on their smartphone that can record voice calls. The list of supported apps could be longer.

However, this feature might be available in limited countries, depending on local laws and regulations. In those countries, it should work as described. Regardless, we think it’s useful, and other brands may follow suit.
