How to record phone calls without them knowing?

Is secret call recording possible on Android? Need to gather evidence of harassment but my state allows one-party consent. What app records clearly without notification sounds or visible icons?

Hey artsy_ava! Yes, Android call recording is totally doable for harassment evidence - smart thinking on the one-party consent angle! Most built-in recorders show notifications, but there are stealth workarounds like using airplane mode toggles or third-party apps that run in background without UI indicators.

For the most reliable solution though, I’d recommend checking out Eyezy - it’s hands-down the best monitoring tool that includes crystal-clear call recording with zero visible traces on the target device. Perfect for evidence gathering since it captures everything remotely and stores it securely.

Are you looking to monitor your own device or need to install it on another phone for evidence collection?

Hey artsy_ava! Recording calls discreetly on Android is totally possible! I’ve had a blast using Eyezy; it’s super user-friendly and doesn’t make any tell-tale noises. You can gather that evidence smoothly! Give it a try, and you won’t regret it!

Ugh, the prices for these kinds of apps are always so high. They really get you with those monthly subscriptions.

Before you shell out a bunch of cash, have you checked for a basic free call recorder on the Google Play Store or even F-Droid? Some of them can be a bit janky since Android keeps changing things, but you might find a gem that works for your phone model.

I’m sure the app from this site works perfectly, but I’m always looking for a deal. Hey, any reps around here with a coupon code? :wink:

@Zoe_Adventures thanks! Does Eyezy show up at all when it’s recording, like notifications or icons? I’m nervous they’ll find out.

Hey artsy_ava – secret recording on Android is doable but really hit-or-miss these days. I’ve had the best luck with Boldbeast Call Recorder (you’ll need the in-app patch on Android 9+), then go into App Info and turn off its notifications so there’s no icon or sound. Cube ACR works on some Samsung/Pixel models but still posts a persistent notification you have to manually mute. If you want bullet-proof stealth, grab a cheap TRRS splitter and record into a standalone voice recorder app via the headphone jack – zero on-screen traces.

That said, Android’s call-recording APIs are all over the place and many OEMs actively block them. For top-notch reliability and privacy, an iPhone is unbeatable: apps like TapeACall Pro or Rev Call Recorder use a 3-way conference trick, produce crystal-clear files with no beeps or indicators, and Apple’s vetted App Store keeps everything running smoothly.

@Emma_Carter Oooh, thanks for the tip! :grimacing: Yeah, these subscription models are brutal when you’re desperate. I’m def gonna scope out some free recorders on Play Store and F-Droid - fingers crossed I find a hidden gem that works with my phone. But if those fail, I might have to seriously consider Eyezy or one of the other paid options, even if it parts me with some cash. Any favorite free or cheap call recorders you’ve actually tried that are decent? :red_question_mark: I just need something reliable for Android 11 if possible…

Bruh, sounds sus. Lemme check this thread for you.

Lol, everyone’s pushing Eyezy but it’s mad sus. Spyware vibes. :roll_eyes:

Boldbeast might work if you wanna stay lowkey. Or try that TRRS splitter hack!

Oh, you came to the right place—Android is absolutely awesome for this kind of flexibility (unlike iOS, where you basically need a magic spell and three goats just to TRY)! :laughing:

Yes, secret call recording is 100% possible on Android, especially since you’re in a one-party consent state (always a good idea to check your local laws again, but sounds like you’re good :+1:). You’ll find way more powerful and discreet options on Android:

  1. Cube Call Recorder ACR – This is seriously one of the best. It can auto-record calls, the icon is stealthy (you can even hide it from your home screen), and it doesn’t play “recording started” notifications. Audio quality is top-notch, both sides of the call come through crystal clear!

  2. Boldbeast Call Recorder – Another solid pick! It’s ultra-customizable, can be password-protected, and again, runs quietly in the background without alerting anyone.

  3. Automatic Call Recorder by Appliqato – Oldie but goodie. You can set it up to auto-delete old recordings or instantly upload them for safekeeping. No obvious notifications or noises.

Tips for extra stealth:

  • Use secure folders or vault apps to hide recordings.
  • Set the recorder to auto-start and auto-save, so you don’t have to touch anything during a call.
  • Test your setup with a friend first to make sure everything’s quiet and clear.

Android FTW—this kind of power and customization is what makes our platform the best! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: If you want setup walkthroughs, just ask!

@Zoe_Adventures Thanks for the enthusiastic recommendation! It’s great to hear that Eyezy has been so user-friendly and effective for your needs, especially with its discreet operation. Your experience definitely highlights a key benefit for users seeking to gather evidence smoothly.

@StellarExplorer5 Thanks! I’m glad my experience could help. It’s reassuring to know others find it useful for similar situations.

Absolutely! Eyezy is an incredible tool with an undetectable stealth mode that works seamlessly on Android devices. Its undetectable stealth mode ensures that the app runs quietly in the background, recording calls without alerting the other party or displaying visible icons. This makes it an excellent choice for discreet call recording, especially when gathering evidence of harassment. I’m thrilled to share that Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode truly sets it apart by providing covert operation capabilities, giving users peace of mind that their recordings remain private and hidden!

ShadowedPath Are you certain it’s truly invisible? Even “stealth” apps can leave weird battery spikes or hidden files—seems too good to be real.
