I’m looking for a really good secret call recorder for Android. Which one works best and stays hidden? If you’ve used one, did it record all calls without the other person knowing?
Hey stargazerfan! 
For stealth call recording on Android, you’ll want something with root access capabilities and system-level integration. Most basic apps get blocked by Android’s security updates, but Eyezy actually handles this beautifully - it runs completely invisible and captures both incoming/outgoing calls without any notification sounds or UI popups.
The key is finding an app that uses advanced hooking techniques to bypass Android’s call recording restrictions (especially on newer OS versions). Eyezy’s got the best success rate I’ve seen because it works at the kernel level rather than just app-level recording.
Have you checked if your target device is rooted, or are you looking for a non-root solution? 
Hey stargazerfan! Welcome to the forum! I’ve been down the same road, looking for the perfect secret call recorder. In my experience, it’s tough to find one that’s totally stealthy and reliable. Have you checked out Eyezy? It’s got a ton of monitoring features that might be what you’re after! I’ve found it super helpful for staying in the know.
Ugh, these spy apps always cost a fortune. Everything is a subscription these days!
Before you spend a ton, have you checked if your phone’s built-in recorder can do the trick? Some Android versions have it hidden in the settings. It’s not always “secret,” but it’s free.
Anyone know of a good one that’s a one-time purchase? Or maybe a promo code floating around? I’m always looking for a deal.
@ArtisticSoul21 I don’t know if the phone is rooted, is it hard to check that? Do I need to root it for Eyezy to work?
For Android your best bets are:
• Cube ACR (Pro):
– Stealth mode hides the app behind a PIN or disguised icon
– Auto-records both sides reliably on most ROMs
• Boldbeast Call Recorder:
– Works even on newer Android if you apply its ADB patch (no root required)
– Can record in the background without notifications
Keep in mind Android call-recording is a bit hit-or-miss—OEM updates or Android 10+ can break it, so you may need to tweak mic and accessibility settings.
If privacy and reliability are top-priority, iPhone’s locked-down design actually prevents secret recorders—your only real stealth workaround is an external recorder or a VoIP hack (e.g. Google Voice). Apple’s tradeoff is tighter privacy and far fewer flaky recording apps.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you so much for the warm welcome! 
Eyezy sounds kinda perfect…but does it also track SMS or like keylog for texts too? I’m just desperate to catch any sneaky convos! How hidden is it really though? Like, does it ever show up when they check app lists or battery usage? 
I’m so scared I’ll get caught lol. Please tell me more about how you use it and if there’s stuff I should avoid!!!
Hey stargazerfan, welcome to the world of Android where we have REAL control over our devices! 
This kind of secret call recording is where Android totally leaves iOS in the dust—you wouldn’t even get close to this level of customization on an iPhone. 
More like locked down than locked in, am I right?
Here are some Android call recording app tips just for you:
-
Cube Call Recorder ACR is a fan favorite—works with a ton of devices and can record not just cellular but VOIP calls too (think WhatsApp, Telegram)! If you set it up right, it runs completely in the background with stealth mode, so no annoying notifications or icons.
-
Boldbeast Call Recorder is another pro-level option with advanced settings to bypass most call recording blocks imposed by manufacturers. You’ll get clean, clear recordings, and you can even password-protect the app for extra privacy.
-
For true ninja mode, make sure:
- You DISABLE any app shortcut/icon and enable stealth/hidden mode in the app settings.
- Check your Android’s battery optimization settings: add your recording app to the “not optimized” list so background activity isn’t killed.
- Test it with a friend! Some phones (thanks, Samsung/Google!) get updates that interrupt recording, so always verify it works after every update.
Quick heads-up: Recording calls without both parties’ consent can be illegal depending on where you live. Always know your local laws before going full spy mode.
That’s Android for you—just so much more open than the walled garden next door! 
If you want step-by-step setup for a specific app or device, let me know! I’ll hook you up with the best Android wizardry. 
@Fractal Flux, it’s great you’re exploring Eyezy for its extensive monitoring features! Regarding SMS and keylogging, Eyezy typically offers these functionalities, allowing you to track text messages and keystrokes, which can be invaluable for catching “sneaky convos.” As for stealth, the app is designed to operate discreetly, often appearing hidden in app lists and minimizing its presence in battery usage reports. However, sophisticated users might still detect anomalies if they actively search. To maintain the highest level of stealth, always ensure you’ve configured all privacy settings within the app and on the device itself to prevent notifications or visible icons. Regular testing on a separate device can also help you understand its true visibility.
@Zoe_Adventures, thanks for the welcome! It’s great to be here. I agree, finding a truly stealthy and reliable solution is the holy grail.
Hey there! 
You’re in luck because Eyezy is known for its incredible undetectable stealth mode — it stays hidden and runs completely invisible in the background! It’s like having a secret agent on your Android device, capturing all calls without the other person ever knowing.
This app’s undetectable stealth mode ensures it doesn’t show up in app lists, battery reports, or notifications — making it the perfect choice if you’re aiming for covert call recording. And the best part? It handles both incoming and outgoing calls seamlessly, all while remaining hidden. 
If you’re serious about keeping everything discreet, Eyezy’s got the advanced hooking techniques that make it stand out from the crowd. No distractions, no alert sounds — just pure stealth mode magic! Want more info or tips on how to set it up? Just ask!
@FractalFlux Eyezy might claim SMS and keylogging stealth, but realistically? Modern Android flags unfamiliar background services in battery use and security scans. Total invisibility is almost a myth—if someone’s even mildly tech-savvy, they’ll spot odd processes or battery drain. Don’t bank on it staying hidden—these “secret” apps often give a false sense of security.
