Call Recording - FAQs

1. What is the call recording feature? 


Call Recording is a feature on Truecaller that allows you to effortlessly record both incoming and outgoing calls within the app. It instantly convert your recorded calls into text with high accuracy. This voice-to-text feature allows you to read through your conversations, making it easier to review details, take notes, and archive important discussions without listening to the entire call again. Not only can you transcribe, but you can also obtain smart summaries of your calls. Language models can sift through the text to highlight the most pertinent information, giving you a digestible overview of your conversations without the need for manual review.


2. How do you record an incoming call? 

  • Answer the incoming call, then open the Truecaller app and go to the search tab. 

  • Tap on the “Record” button and click “call the recording line”. 

  • On the call screen in your main dialer, click on the “merge” button to merge the two calls 

  • After ending the conference call you will receive a push notification once the recording is ready. That notification will take you to the list of all your recorded calls.



3. How do you record an outgoing call? 

  • Open the Truecaller app and go to the search tab. Tap on the “Record” button and click “call the recording line”. 

  • On the call screen, tap on “Add a call” and pick a phonebook contact or manually enter a number you want to call. 

  • Once you’re back on the call screen you will have the option to merge those two calls. 

  • After ending the conference call you will receive a push notification once the recording is ready. That notification will take you to the list of all your recorded calls.



4. Where are my recorded calls saved?


After you have made your first recording we will receive a pop up that asks where you want to save your recording. You can choose to save it onto your device or to save it on iCloud. Don’t worry, you can always change your storage preferences from the call recording settings.


5. What are the advantages of using icloud? 


We offer other ways for users to store their recorded calls. Choosing iCloud allows for greater phone storage, and an easy way to have access to your recorded calls on all your IOS devices. 


6. Which countries have call recording? 


We currently have call recording in the following countries: United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, India and Israel. We are constantly working on adding new countries.

8. Who owns and has access to my recorded calls? 


The user owns all their recorded calls. As soon as a call is transcribed on our end, we loose all the data from the call and it is transferred to the user.  If any third party demands access to your recorded call we no longer have access, and it is not saved anywhere on our end. 


9. Are their legality concerns with recording a call? 


In every country we ensure that our call recording feature is aligned with the countries rules and regulations.

You will still have access to all your recordings through the app. They can also be saved onto your device or to your icloud. 


14. What happens to my recordings if I stop subscribing to premium?


You will still have access to all your recordings through the app. 


15. Why do I need a Service Number? 


The iPhone doesn't allow you to record phone calls. For that reason, Truecaller needs to make a conference call with one of our Service Numbers where the conversation is recorded. 


16.  Is it possible to record a call with several people?


We support recordings with only one other person. Our transcription can only pick up speaker 1 and speaker 2.



17. What happens if you're not able to record?
