How to Stop Call Recording Announcement on Android Phones (All Working Methods) 

If you use call recording on Android phones, you must have heard a loud voice saying:

“This call is now being recorded.”

This announcement plays every time call recording starts and can be awkward, annoying, or inconvenient—especially during professional or private conversations. Because of this, thousands of users search daily for ways to stop call recording announcement on Android phones.

However, most solutions found online are either outdated, risky, or illegal. In this detailed guide, you’ll learn all safe, legal, and working methods, including the TTSLex method, manufacturer options, and smart workarounds.

This guide works for phones like Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, and other Android devices.

Why Does Android Play Call Recording Announcement?

Google introduced the call recording announcement to:

• Follow privacy and call-recording laws

• Inform both parties that the call is being recorded

• Prevent misuse of call recordings

• Comply with country-specific legal requirements

From Android 9 onward—and especially Android 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14—Google made this announcement mandatory in many regions, including India.

Can You Completely Remove Call Recording Announcement?

Short answer:

    No, not completely on stock Android.

Long answer:

Android does not officially allow disabling the announcement fully.
But you can:

• Reduce it

• Avoid it using legal workarounds

• Change how it behaves on certain phones

• Use advanced (limited) methods like TTSLex

Let’s go through all working options step by step.

Method 1: Disable or Reduce Announcement on Samsung Phones

Samsung phones offer limited control over call recording.

Steps:

1. Open the Phone app

2. Tap three dots (⋮) → Settings

3. Go to Call Recording

4. Disable Record calls automatically

5. Restart the phone

⚠️ Samsung does not fully remove the announcement, but in some regions it reduces frequency or volume.

Method 2: Google Dialer Call Recording Settings

On phones using Google Phone app:

Steps:

1. Open Phone app

2. Go to Settings

3. Open Call Recording

4. Disable:

   • Auto call recording

   • Recording prompts (if available)

 This option is limited and depends on device and Android version.

Method 3: Change Recording Type (Xiaomi / Realme / Oppo)

Some phones allow switching from voice announcement to beep sound.

Steps:

1. Phone app → Settings

2. Call Recording

3. Change announcement type to Beep (if available)

✔ This significantly reduces annoyance.

Method 4: Use Manufacturer Dialer Instead of Google Dialer

Google Dialer strictly enforces announcements.
Using the manufacturer’s dialer may reduce or remove it on older devices.

Works mostly on:

• Xiaomi (MIUI Dialer – older versions)

• Realme / Oppo (older ColorOS)

Steps:

1. Settings → Apps

2. Find Phone / Dialer

3. Disable Google Phone

4. Enable system dialer

5. Set as default

⚠️ New Android versions often block this.

Method 5: Accessibility & Voice Output Settings (Partial Fix)

This method doesn’t remove the announcement but reduces repeated voice output.

Steps:

1. Settings → Accessibility

2. Turn OFF:

   • TalkBack

   • Sound notifications

   • Voice assistance features

3. Restart phone

Method 6: Screen Recorder Workaround (Most Reliable Method)

This is the best legal workaround.

How it works

Instead of call recording:

• Use built-in screen recorder

• Enable system sound + mic

• Start recording before the call

✔ No announcement
✔ No third-party app
✔ Safe and legal

Best results when:

• Loudspeaker is ON

• Mic permission is enabled

Method 7: Use Headphones or Bluetooth

Using:

• Wired earphones

• Bluetooth headset

sometimes lowers the announcement volume or makes it less noticeable.

✔ Simple trick, varies by device.

Method 8: Change Region (Limited Effect)

Some users report partial success by changing region.

Steps:

1. Settings → Additional Settings

2. Region → Change country

3. Restart phone

⚠️ Results vary
⚠️ May affect apps and services

Method 9: Stop Call Recording Announcement Using TTSLex (Advanced Method)

What is TTSLex?

TTSLex (Text-to-Speech Lexicon) is part of Android’s Text-to-Speech (TTS) system.
The call recording announcement is generated through the TTS engine.

By modifying how TTS behaves, some users are able to reduce or mute the spoken announcement.

Important Warning

• Does NOT work on all phones

• Mostly patched on Android 13 & 14

• Some devices require root

• Not officially supported by Google

    Use only if you understand Android settings.

How TTSLex Method Works (Concept)

• Call recording announcement is spoken via TTS

• Changing TTS behavior may:

  • Lower volume

  • Mute speech

  • Prevent announcement from playing clearly

This does not disable recording, only affects voice output.

Non-Root TTSLex Method (Safe Attempt)

1. Open Settings

2. Go to Accessibility

3. Open Text-to-Speech output

4. Select active TTS engine

5. Reduce:

   • Speech rate

   • Pitch

6. Disable enhanced voice features (if available)

7. Restart phone

8. Test call recording

Works partially on some devices.

Root-Based TTSLex Method (Not Recommended)

Some users modify system TTSLex files using root.

Not recommended because:

• Warranty void

• Security risks

• Banking/UPI apps may stop working

• Google SafetyNet issues

For safety and AdSense compliance, avoid this.

TTSLex Compatibility Table

Device / Android	Works?
Stock Android	❌ Rare
Samsung	❌ Mostly blocked
Xiaomi (older MIUI)	⚠️ Partial
Realme / Oppo (older)	⚠️ Partial
Android 13 / 14	❌ Mostly patched

Why MOD Apps & Hacks Should Be Avoided

Many sites suggest:

• MOD dialers

• Cracked APKs

• Patched Google Phone apps

*Do NOT use these*

Risks

• Malware

• Google account ban

• Privacy leaks

• Phone instability

• AdSense rejection

Best & Safest Recommendation

✔ Accept announcement where required
✔ Use screen recorder workaround when needed
✔ Try TTSLex only as an experiment
✔ Avoid illegal or modified apps
