TL;DR

• A Pixel 8 Pro user in India has shared a video showing native call recording in action.
• The feature works through the Call Assist menu, with playback, sharing, and deletion options in the Phone app.
• Call recording is available on the Pixel 6 and later in supported regions, though we’ve seen little evidence of it outside of India so far.

We’ve already heard a lot about how Pixel phones are finally getting native call recording support, but until now, we hadn’t seen the feature in action. Thanks to a new screen recording from a Pixel 8 Pro user in India, we can show you exactly how it works.

The video, shared with us by Sameer on Telegram, was captured on a Pixel 8 Pro running Android 16 QPR1 stable with the beta version of the Phone app (193.0.809761572-publicbeta). It shows how the feature looks and behaves during an actual call. Check it out below.
