WhatsApp is currently one of the most used text messaging platforms worldwide, perhaps because of the ease it offers us when sharing multimedia content or even because of the versatility when making video calls, since we can even make them in groups. For this reason, it is likely that at some point in your life you have come across the need to record a WhatsApp call and you did not find a way to do it.
We will give you tips of how to go about it.
Before you start recording, remember to notify the other person
A call can only be made if there are two people exchanging it. It is extremely important that when recording a call in progress, you inform the other person that you have just activated this option.
Because, if you do not do so, you would be committing a violation of the laws that protect the privacy of that person. In some countries, you can be accused of committing a crime.
Is it possible to record from the same WhatsApp application?
No, currently the application does not have a native option that allows us to record calls or video calls. Therefore, if you use an Android device you will need to download a dedicated application to perform this task .
The advantage of this alternative is that there are many applications available in the Play Store that work very well for this purpose. So, below we will recommend several applications that will help you.
