There are plenty of apps available on Play store in both free and premium features for recording phone calls, but depending on the phone make and root privilege only a few works as intended. Now, the free app called ‘Boldbeast Call Recorder’ brings phone call recording function to any Android phone. It does not require root access in most cases and it is designed to work with any phone. If you have tried many apps to get call recording on your Android phone, but unsuccessful, the below guide should help you.

In this guide, we show you how to bring phone call recording function to any Android phone using Boldbeast Call Recorder. The benefit of call recording is pointless to mention here, but it may not be legal in your country. So, before bringing call recording function to your phone, check that recording your own phone calls is legal in your country.

The Boldbeast Call Recorder app does not require root access on most phones. It simulates a Bluetooth connection to record audio. Galaxy S7, S6, S5, S4, HTC One M9, M8, Desire 820, Moto X (Lollipop), Moto G (Lollipop), LG G4, G3, G2, Xperia Z4, Z3, Z2, Huawei Honor 7, Honor 6 plus, Honor 6, Ascend Mate7, Xiaomi, ZTE, OnePlus, Micromax, Xolo, etc. does not require root to record phone calls.
