Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ in Select Regions Gain a Built-in Call Recorder.

With the latest security update that just rolled out to Galaxy S9 and S9+ users, Samsung included a new call recorder feature that's baked directly into the phone's default phone app.



It isn't available in the US, but only for handsets powered by the Exynos CPU that are sold in select foreign countries. As you can see from the screenshot below provided by the same Reddit user, the record button shows up alongside the rest of the in-call options.

As XDA-Developers notes, the new feature is arriving with the G960FXXU1BRE5 and G965FXXU1BRE3 updates in Russia, Switzerland, Spain, Romania, Netherlands, and the UK.

A record button shows up alongside the rest of the in-call options. When you initiate the feature, you will also see a recording notification at the top of your screen next to the current call time.

As it’s nearly impossible to only whitelist this type of functionality based on physical location, it’s unlikely for Samsung to enable this for everyone worldwide.
