One UI 9.5 could allow recording Telegram and WhatsApp voice calls

Samsung appears to be discussing One UI 9.5, with the first details pointing to a new call-recording capability for Galaxy phones. Coverage from Android Authority and Android Police describes a leak showing that the update could let users record voice calls made through WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. SamMobile frames the same development as a possible fix for the VoIP recording gap, while SammyGuru reports that Samsung has started discussing the release and revealed its first new feature.

The emphasis across the coverage is on recording calls made inside third-party messaging and meeting apps rather than standard phone calls. Android Authority names WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet as the services covered, giving the report the broadest application list. Android Police describes the change as Samsung tackling the VoIP recording gap on Galaxy phones, and SamMobile highlights Telegram and WhatsApp voice calls in its headline. Sammy Fans, meanwhile, points to a separate One UI 9.5 feature: a new WeChat backup option for Galaxy phones. SammyGuru notes that Samsung has begun discussing the update and revealed a first new feature, though the other reports are framed as leaks rather than confirmed announcements.

The context for this development is the mismatch between how calls are handled on Galaxy phones and how they are handled inside messaging apps. Standard call recording is a native phone function, while VoIP calls run through apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram, which is why coverage describes a recording gap on Galaxy devices. The reported One UI 9.5 feature would extend recording to those app-based calls, and the inclusion of Google Meet suggests the scope may extend beyond voice messaging to a widely used video meeting service. The WeChat backup item reported by Sammy Fans indicates that the update may cover more than one area of the software, but the coverage does not yet specify a full feature list.

What to watch next is confirmation from Samsung, since the recording capability is currently described in leak-based coverage. The reports do not state a release date for One UI 9.5, nor do they specify which Galaxy phone models would receive the feature or which markets would see it first. It also remains unclear whether recording will apply to every WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet call, and the coverage does not describe any user controls, notifications to call participants, storage limits or regional restrictions. The separate WeChat backup feature reported by Sammy Fans is another element to verify as more details about the update emerge.
