Is there an important phone call coming up that you want to record and save it for relistens? Thankfully, you can record both incoming and outgoing calls on your Android phone.

Yes, Google’s own Phone app does offer a recording feature, however, whether or not it works depends on the carrier, region, along with other conditions. If that doesn’t work for you, you can use an external recording device. There are also several on-device options, all the way from Google Voice to third-party apps.
