  • Pixel phones finally gain native call recording with Android 14 rollout
    November 15, 2025, 11:12 AM EST. Google's long-awaited call-recording feature is rolling out to Pixel devices starting with the Pixel 6 and newer on Android 14. The Phone by Google app adds a dedicated Call Recording toggle under Settings → Call Assist, with an in-call button and a red indicator. Recordings live locally in the Home tab with a built-in player and on-device storage for privacy. Users can auto-delete after 7/14/30 days or keep them, and auto-record is available for unknown numbers or selected contacts. Accessibility is region-dependent due to laws, but audible alerts help comply with consent. It's a cleaner, more reliable solution than third-party apps.

The results follow SoftBank's exit of roughly a $5.8 billion stake and come amid chatter from AMD's data-center remarks and Lisa Su on the TAM for AI data centers. Also on investors' radar is Michael Burry questioning revenue-quality and asset depreciation.
