Does Your Country Allow Call Recording?
In certain countries, there are laws governing recordings and recording calls. In the case of your country, it is possible to seek consent or even inform the person making a call. In certain nations, recording of calls isn’t allowed completely.
However, the majority of users in India do not like this feature broadcast and prefer an option to record calls without notifying the user. This is why Truecaller’s latest Call Recording feature acts as an attractive option for Google Dialer since it does not notify users of the possibility of recording. However, Truecaller puts the burden on the user to seek permission.
Furthermore, Truecaller declares that it is not liable for any responsibility whatsoever in connection with any use made of the feature of call recording. To summarize If you plan to record calls using Truecaller it is your responsibility to notify the user prior to making the calls.
