la the so-called record It is one of the most controversial features in the Android world, but not the only one. Actually the situation is very simple: system operative Android has all the rules here and there customize mounted sopra (MIUI for Xiaomi, ColorOS for Oppo, etc.) has none of the others. The rule that precedes a caller can be registered, or at least not dependent on customization, but according to the rule of Google which “owns” the operating system. Here it is, here it is novità.

Here’s the news: Google is improving its policy and from May 11, third-party app will not be able to register names

Google has broken the name registration on Android over the years. Since Android 6.0 Google has removed the official registry cleaner. This allowed app developers to look for unofficial ways to get nicknames saved. But once again, Google has eliminated some of these alternative solutions On Android 9.0. With Android 10, the company completely blocked the recording of calls via microphones. There are scripts to save, but it doesn’t always work because of the rules on it. privacy In Europe they do not consent.

Here is the news that started on May 11: Google announced won’t allow third party apps using the accessibility API for audio recording of calls. On a new website for developers, Google has announced it’s a change it will be third party app only:

[…] refers to the voice recording of the call that the person in the other section is not aware of that the recording is coming. However, if the app is the dialer to be identified on the phone, the accessibility functionality is not required to access the input voice and therefore the rules should not be violated. If it is a call to an existing policy, it will apply to the entire application from 11 May.

What changed then?

Therefore, the streets are two:

• if you have a smart phone a pre-installed app (Google Phone’s for purposes) with the function to save names, then we don’t know what to do: the registration will continue to work as described
• if it’s a smartphone does not have a pre-installed appwe can no longer use registration of aliases with third party apps
