Samsung Galaxy devices are receiving call recording feature in the US with One UI 7
As the name suggests, call recording allows Galaxy users in the US to record ongoing voice calls with One UI 7.

- Arabic
- Chinese (China mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan)
- English (Australia, India, United Kingdom, United States)
- Dutch
- French (Canada, France)
- German

- Japanese
- Korean
- Polish
- Portuguese (Brazil, Europe)
- Romanian
- Russian
- Spanish (Mexico, Spain, United States)
- Swedish
- Thai
- Turkish
- Vietnamese
This feature is similar to Google’s Call Notes feature and is available in some Pixel devices. Apple has also introduced a call recording feature with the iOS 18 firmware.
One UI 7 brings new ways to customize the Galaxy experience, relive special moments, and stay connected. You can customize your Galaxy phone further by arranging your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center in all-new ways.
