Nothing Introduces Discreet Call Recording Feature on Latest Phones

Nothing has introduced a new feature that allows users of their phones to record calls discreetly. This means that the other person on the call will not be notified that the conversation is being recorded.

This functionality arrives alongside the launch of the Nothing Phone (2a) in India.

According to a recent announcement by Nothing co-founder Carl Pei via X (formerly Twitter), a new call recording feature is being rolled out to Nothing Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2), and the new Nothing Phone (2a). This feature, accessible through a new recorder widget on Nothing phones, fulfills a long-requested function by users.

Previously, call recording on Nothing devices required using the default recording option in the Google dialer, which alerted participants about the ongoing recording. While some reports acknowledge the potential for misuse, discreet call recording can be beneficial in situations where capturing a conversation without alerting the other party is necessary.

Nothing emphasizes that this feature is intended to empower users in potentially undesirable situations. Additionally, Pei hinted at upcoming updates to the notifications panel on Nothing phones, though specifics remain undisclosed.

The announcement of the new call recording feature coincides with the launch of the Nothing Phone (2a) in India. The phone comes in three variants, with prices starting at Rs 23,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option. Here's a quick rundown of the key specifications for the Nothing Phone (2a):
