Android Pie blocks non-root call recording apps from working
The release of Android Pie has blocked non-root call recording applications from working, much to the dismay of many. Learn more about it here.
With the release of Android 9 Pie, there has been a number of sweet new features added. Between a new gesture navigation UI, RAM-heavy game protection, Slices and App Actions APIs, Google has put a lot of work into the latest version of their mobile operating system. However, there does seem to be some regressions. While we noted the existence of a call-recording tone added back in February of this year, it seems that this may simply have been added for consistency and not a signal that Android would be getting better call recording features. On the contrary, it looks like Android Pie has completely blocked call recording without root.
