Google will record your calls with unknown numbers
Table of contents:
Surely this has happened to you before. They call you over and over again from some company trying to sell you something and you wish you could show them that you have had the exact same conversation dozens of times. Well, it seems that this wish will soon become a reality. And it is that Google is going to launch a new function with which these types of calls will be registered.
The idea of the Google Phone application is to automatically record all calls that come from an unknown number. In this way, you will be able to have a record of the heavy spam calls to claim if necessary.
This feature is not available yet, but it might come in a very soon update. In fact, it seems that the company has already begun to do the first tests in this regard. As is logical, taking into account that privacy must be maintained, all calls will not be automatically recorded. In principle, this function is specially designed for those calls that come from an unknown number, which are those that can be considered spam.
How Google call recording will work
As we have been able to read at 9to5google.com, this option would not be available automatically, but you would have to activate and deactivate it each time you receive a call that you want to record. But in the event that a caller is too heavy, you would always have at your disposal the option of having proof that the calls are excessive.
Logically, due to data protection issues, it is not possible for calls to be recorded without the other person knowing. Therefore, when one of your calls is going to be recorded, both parties will hear a message informing them that the conversation is being recorded. This also happens when our conversation with any company is recorded.
Calls will not be stored on Google's servers. You will only have the audio recorded on your computer. In this way, the privacy of the conversation will be guaranteed, and all the rules established in this regard will be respected.
What is the use of recording calls with a hidden number
This new feature can be very useful to avoid the hassles caused by telemarketers.Although it is not a direct fight against them, the truth is that they can feel a little intimidated and less likely to be annoying if they know that we can have the conversations recorded. They probably won't stop calling you, but at least you'll have a weapon to complain to in case they get too annoying.
The news about this possible new feature has come out after lines of code have been found about it in version 59 of the Google Phone app. But it is possible that in the end everything will remain in the tests and we will never see this function on our mobile phones. We will have to wait a few months to see how everything develops. But in principle everything indicates that very soon we will be able to have proof that certain calls are being too annoying.
