Retrieving Call Recordings from Google Drive

T

Hi,
I have installed Automatic Call Recorder app by Appliqato on Redmi Note 5 Pro. I have set it up to sync with Google Drive. But I can't access the files in my Google Drive folder. What am I missing?

What do you mean by "not accessible"? Are files not visible at all or are they in some xyz format which you cannot play?

The files are not visible in “My Drive” folder. However, there was something named “Call Recorder” in Settings->Manage Apps section which has an Options button but nothing on it.

If files are not there(I assume you checked with different browsers on desktop/laptop & not just mobile browser/app version of drive) then app is not syncing/saving files to google drive at all.If that is the case then better contact app developer via playstore.

Open Google Drive from a browser. Go to the page which has details about permissions or apps which have permission to use Google Drive and see if that recording app is there or not.

I installed two call recording apps, Automatic Call Recorder and Record my Call and this time I integrated them with Dropbox. It seems both of them are able to create a folder of theirs but the individual recordings are not getting saved even though its been enabled in the app settings.

Send a mail to ACR's team. Also try Boldbeast Recorder.

Boldbeast is impressive but is there any recorder which can run even if the user has swiped the app away to close it.

Swiped as in? Didn't get your point.

swiped meaning to close the app from multitasking window.

Need an app that works in the background all the time. If I accidentally close the app from the multitasking window by pressing cross button or swiping it up then it won’t record until I open the app again. I don’t want this to happen, need an app that runs in the background all the time.

ACR and Boldbeast won't close if you let their icon/button stay in the notifications bar. Check the respective app's settings.

Boldbeast recorder is working fine. Its synchronization with cloud drives is upto the mark. Thanks billubakra

I recently got a Galaxy M01 from a family member who are no longer using it. I installed boldbeast recorder from apk but the app is not opening and I also need to transfer my license to this new phone. I'm not able to trace the purchase transaction. Boldbeast is asking for Google Play order receipt which is not there in my account records. I don't remember how I purchased the app. Have checked my Gmail and found nothing.

I think M01 has native call recording, most Samsungs do. It just doesn't work on VoWiFi.

Yes it does. Will check it out, thanks. While during a call, if there is an announcement that call is being recorded then does it mean that both sides are agreeing and does that make call recording legal in India?

There is news circulating that recording needs to be informed to the other party in India now, like in US (because of which the announcement is present). But it used to be not so clear & used as evidence in courts as well.

Samsung phones have call recording w/o announcement, if device was sold in India & intended for India.

Right now I'm mustering the courage to switch my sim from iPhone 12 to Galaxy M01 (quite a downgrade

).
I don't get why iPhones don't support call recording and only way is via conference calls made by extremely expensive apps.

It's working fine thanks again. Have installed my office phone on it, will try it out for some time then switch my regular iPhone sim on it.

This is news to me, are you sure that samsung phone native call recording doesn't work on VoWiFi?

Yes the settings in the native call recording explicitly mention this fact that calls will not be recorded in VoWiFi calls.
My next question was very similar that I want an app that can also record VoIP calls like WhatsApp.

My Boldbeast App solution is not fixed. I had purchased the App 3-4 years back and I can't find the order receipt. It's not there in the Google Play history.

VoIP calls in whatsapp are end-to-end encrypted so unless the app is having root permission I don't think it is possible. On the other hand VoWiFi calls shouldn't be end-to-end encrypted so the native samsung call recording function's inability to record such calls is surprising.

What exactly is special about VoWiFi calls anyway when xiaomi/other Chinese manufacturers' native call recording function work well with such calls but not with WA encrypted calls as expected?

I'm not sure why Samsung dialler can't record VoWiFi calls.

Native call recording works perfectly recording each conversation whether its on speaker or device
