Your Galaxy phone could soon let you record WhatsApp, Telegram, and Google Meet calls

Samsung’s One UI 9 rollout is nearly complete, and we’re now seeing several One UI 9.5 leaks. Following reports that Samsung is already prepping a One UI 9.5 beta for the Galaxy S26 series and leaks pointing to an upgraded Samsung Keyboard, a new leak suggests an upgrade to One UI’s call recorder.

Samsung’s built-in call recorder works great for regular phone calls, but it can’t record calls made with third-party apps. With people now extensively using apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to make calls, this limitation is becoming more glaring. A new feature spotted by SamMobile in an early One UI 9.5 build suggests Samsung could be fixing this.

According to the outlet, the Phone app in One UI 9.5 has a new “Record calls in other apps” option inside Settings > Call recordings and transcripts. Tapping on this option opens an “Available apps” list with WhatsApp, Google Meet, and Telegram currently listed, per the report.

The report also suggests users will be able to turn on call recording for each app separately, thanks to dedicated toggles for every app on the list. Since the outlet’s test device had only these three calling apps installed, the actual list of compatible apps may be more extensive.

The screenshots the outlet shared also show a disclaimer saying the feature will not play a recording notification and that users are responsible for informing participants that the call is being recorded. The feature could be limited to select countries, and Samsung could even add a pre-call announcement feature in certain regions.

Built-in support for recording calls made via third-party apps could be a useful addition to One UI 9.5’s feature set. However, since Samsung hasn’t officially announced One UI 9.5 yet, this feature could change or even be pulled before release. We’ll just have to wait for the One UI 9.5 beta program to start to learn more.
