One UI 9.5 leak points to call recording for WhatsApp and Telegram

What the leak shows

Samsung may be preparing to extend its built-in call recorder to internet calling apps. According to Android Authority, citing a report by SamMobile, an early One UI 9.5 build contains a new setting called Record calls in other apps inside the Call recordings and transcripts menu.

The Phone app reportedly shows an Available apps list that currently names WhatsApp, Google Meet and Telegram. Each app has its own toggle, so users could switch recording on or off for each service separately.

Because the test device only had those three calling apps installed, the final list of supported apps could be longer. Samsung has not confirmed any of this, and the feature may change before release.

Legal limits and warnings

The leaked screens carry a disclaimer stating that no recording notification will be played during calls. Users would be responsible for telling everyone on the call that it is being recorded.

Android Authority reports the feature may only appear in certain countries, since call recording laws differ widely. Samsung could also add a pre-call announcement in some regions to alert participants automatically.

Why it matters

Samsung's recorder already handles normal phone calls well, but it cannot capture calls made through third-party apps. As more people use WhatsApp and Telegram for voice and video calls, that gap has become more noticeable.

Native support would let Galaxy owners keep recordings of internet calls in one place, without relying on each app's own tools. It would also bring internet calls closer to the recording rules that apply to regular calls.

When we might learn more

The One UI 9 rollout is nearly finished, and leaks about version 9.5 are already circulating. Android Authority notes reports that Samsung is preparing a beta programme for the Galaxy S26 series, alongside other leaked features such as an improved Samsung Keyboard.

Nothing is official yet. The clearest confirmation should come when the One UI 9.5 beta opens, so readers should treat these details as unconfirmed until then.
