How to Record WhatsApp Calls on Android and iPhone
Sep. 13, 2024We all use WhatsApp’s audio and video call feature practically every day to talk to our loved ones, attend lectures, or hold critical meetings. But what if you want to record those important conversations? WhatsApp does not feature a built-in call recording option due to privacy concerns. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to record WhatsApp calls on your Android or iPhone. So let’s check them out.
Note:Make sure that you are not breaching privacy or the law of the land by secretly recording calls. You should take informed consent from the callee, before the recording.
Method 1: Record WhatsApp Calls Using Screen Recording
Both Android and iPhones come with a nativescreen recorderthat can record any app installed on your phone. With its help, we can record an ongoing video call on WhatsApp. The only limitation is that you won’t be able to hear the person on the other end on Android, or both parties if you are recording from iPhone. Nonetheless, it is still a good way if you want to record your online classes.

Android and other platforms have become strict against call recording apps, which is why most of them don’t work properly anymore. However, we found an app that can still record your conversation on WhatsApp. It’s called App Call Recorder and here’s how it works.
The app should be able to record both your and other person’s voice but make sure to keep the speaker on the whole time. It worked flawlessly for me on the Pixel 7A and the Nothing Phone 2.
If you have a Nothing smartphone, then you can also record WhatsApp calls using the built-in recorder widget. It is relatively easy to use. Just follow these steps to capture calls with it.
It will record the entire call for you, with you having to be on the speakerphone as tested on the Nothing Phone 2. The recorded calls will be available from the Recorder app.
That’s it, I hope that this tutorial was able to help you record your voice calls on WhatsApp. With the ongoing tighter privacy controls, we can only assume that it is going to be even harder in the future. iOS already makes it next to impossible to record calls, and Android is slowly moving in the same direction. Let us know if you were able to use our methods to record WhatsApp calls or not in the comments section below.
You can use the screen recorder to capture video calls, but it will not record any audio. That is because the screen recorder only records audio in apps that allow it.
There is a popular method of using the QuickTime recorder on your Mac with iPhone to record WhatsApp calls. However, in our testing, this method did not record the voice of either the person placing the call, or the person receiving it.
You can record WhatsApp Calls with Xbox Game Bar on your Windows PC, but it will only record your voice, and not the person on the other end.
