Nothing phones now lets users record calls discreetly, here is how

Nothing, the innovative tech company founded by Carl Pei, has announced the addition of a new feature that allows users to record phone calls discreetly, without alerting other participants on the call. Carl Pei announced the introduction of this feature on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. According to Pei, users of Nothing phones, including owners of Nothing Phone 1, Phone 2, or the newly launched Phone 2a, can now utilize discreet call recording via the new recorder widget integrated into Nothing’s phones.

Previously, users seeking to record phone calls on Nothing devices had to rely on the default recording option in the Google dialer. However, this method would alert all parties on the call that the conversation was being recorded, as is typical with call recording on Android phones. With the new recorder widget, however, users can initiate call recording without triggering any notifications to others on the call. The feature can be found in the new recorder widget on Nothing’s phones.

Pei emphasized that this feature was highly requested by Nothing’s user community. While discreet call recording has raised concerns about potential misuse, Pei clarified that the purpose of this feature is to protect users from unwanted scenarios. In addition to the discreet call recording feature, Pei revealed that Nothing is also working on revamping the notifications panel on their phones. Although no specifics were provided regarding the changes, this announcement hints at further improvements that could arrive soon to enhance user experience on Nothing devices.

Besides, Nothing just recently launched its new Phone 2a smartphone, priced under Rs 25,000. It is the most affordable 5G phone from the brand and the device will cost you Rs 23,999.
