Android 9 is when that system ended for me, as Google completely disabled call recording by 3rd party apps. It's a must have feature if you want to have any defence against scamming insurance companies and so on. Probably they were losing too much money when people were able to call their lies and demand refunds, so they must have somehow convinced Google to remove this feature altogether.
It was definitely a conspiracy between Google and insurance companies and not that the feature was a security/privacy risk used by too few people to be worth investing in developing in a manner which eliminated the risk.
What do you mean? Pretty much every one I know used to record calls. It is perfectly legal in my country.
If Google was concerned about security / privacy why they didn't disable cameras as well?
