📞 Phone Call & Call Recording Feature Overview

✅ What is Phone Call Monitoring?

This includes:

  • Call Logs: Tracks who called, who was called, timestamps, duration, and call type (incoming, outgoing, missed).
  • Call Recording: Recording audio conversations during calls (legally restricted in many countries).
  • Metadata Analysis: Analyzing call frequency, duration trends, etc.

1. Call Logs Monitoring (Legal & Allowed with Consent)

🎯 Data Collected

Field Description
Contact Name From the device's contact list (if available).
Phone Number Number dialed or received.
Call Type Incoming, Outgoing, Missed.
Duration Length of the call (seconds/minutes).
Timestamp Date and time of call.

📊 Use Cases for Call Logs:

Use Case Description

Employee Monitoring (work phones) Ensure that calls are work-related.

Self-monitoring & Backup Personal backup of call history.

2. 🚫 Call Recording (Highly Restricted & Regulated)

⚠️ Legal Status of Call Recording

Country/Region Consent Required for Call Recording
United States (varies by state) One-party or two-party consent, depending on state.
European Union (GDPR) Explicit consent from all parties.
Canada One-party consent, but recommended to notify.
Australia, UK, others Varies; generally all parties' consent.
Many Asian/Middle Eastern countries Often illegal without explicit consent.

📜 Summary: Call recording is illegal in many jurisdictions without explicit consent.

✅ When Call Recording Can Be Done (Legally & Technically):

  • The app is the Default Dialer App (managing all calls).
  • Explicit consent was obtained from all parties before the recording started.
  • Out-of-store private/enterprise solutions (with consent).
  • Using Accessibility Services (with limitations and not Play Store compliant).
