BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Samsung is preparing something new for Galaxy cell phones that will expand call recording options. With the arrival of One UI 9.5, the Telephone app will be able to record voice conversations made via WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. The information was identified by the specialized website SamMobile in configuration screens for a version of the interface.
The feature appears in the Settings > Call recordings and transcriptions path, with the new option “Record calls in other applications”. When activating it, the user finds a list of compatible services, each with a button to enable or disable recording individually. For now, WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet appear among the options, but the final version may support other messengers and video conferencing tools.
The tool may have limited availability in some countries due to local laws regarding recording conversations. The leaked screens also show a warning that the system will not emit an audible alert during recording. However, Samsung may implement a pre-call announcement or automatic beep to inform the other participant, depending on each country’s privacy rules.
Currently, the native recorder on Galaxy cell phones only works for traditional phone calls. The new feature expands support for services that use VoIP technology, which makes calls over the internet.
As Samsung has not yet officially announced the update, the identified features are in the development phase. Therefore, call recording in third-party applications may still undergo changes or even be discarded before the final version is released.
Samsung is expected to present One UI 9.5 in the first two months of 2027, alongside the Galaxy S27 line. Before the official launch, the manufacturer is preparing a Beta program for the update, initially for Galaxy S26 family cell phones.
The forecast follows the calendar for One UI 8.5, presented during Galaxy Unpacked in February 2026. The intermediate numbering came after Google changed its Android release schedule, with new versions of the system in the first half of the year.
The expectation is that most cell phones and tablets compatible with One UI 9.0 will also receive version 9.5. The update may be based on Android 17 QPR2, but older devices, close to the end of the support period, may be left out.
