To avoid any confusion, Google has already explained the meaning of “remote calls” at the conference. When asked about the meaning of the word “remote” in accessibility policies, Moon Choi, head of content at Google, explained that the term directly refers to recorded audio calls without the knowledge of the person on the other end of the linei.e. silent recordings.

Changes will be applied to third party applications

It’s important to note that the removal of Accessibility API access applies to all third-party apps, but as Moon Choi also reported: The calling app doesn’t need to access the API by default, so it won’t violate Google’s new policies.

Looking at the support page, for now, Google hasn’t made it clear if it will be removing other call recording apps from the Play Store starting May 11th.

According to the 9to5Google website, the change may be an attempt by the company to avoid getting into legal complications, as each US state has different legislation regarding recording audio calls without the consent of the person on the other side. line.
