Galaxy owners who want to keep a WhatsApp or Telegram call may soon be able to do it without third-party tricks. A leaked screen from One UI 9.5, Samsung’s next software update, shows a recorder for calls made over those apps. It is a leak from an unreleased build, so the wording, the menu and the feature itself can still change before anything ships.
The control hides three levels deep: Phone, Settings, Call recordings and transcripts, then an entry called Record calls in other apps. Behind it, every installed app that supports recording gets its own switch. Samsung’s dialer can already capture normal calls, so this extends that tool to calls made inside messaging apps.
The screenshot lists WhatsApp, Meet and Telegram, most likely because those were the only compatible apps on the phone it came from, so the real list may be longer. SamMobile got it from its own source and published the leak.
Which Galaxy models would get the option, and how the person on the other end would be told, are unknown.
Recording rules differ between countries, which is why the option may be offered in only some of them. One UI 9.5 has no release date. Stable One UI 9 is still rolling out to eligible Galaxy devices, and One UI 10 is due after 9.5.
The update is also the one behind a beta build that reportedly appeared on Samsung’s servers for the Galaxy S26 Ultra on 8 November. A beta or an official feature list would show whether the setting survives into the release.
