In this guide, we will show you the steps to enable the call recording feature in OnePlus/7T and their Pro variants. There have been some words doing the rounds that the seventh iteration of the OnePlus devices was probably the last series that stood true to the company’s legacy. And there’s definitely some truth in that statement, with the OEM’s decision to ditch its ever-popular OxygenOS in lieu of the Oppo’s ColorOS adding more fuel to the fire.
Anyways, there’s no denying the fact that its 7 series did manage to grab a few limelight and is still going strong after a couple of years. However, when it comes to call recording, it suffers the same fate as that of its predecessor and successors. This feature has been disabled by default across these devices, but with some hidden tweaks to turn it back on. And in this guide, we will make you aware of just those tweaks. Given here are the detailed instructions to enable the call recording feature in OnePlus 7/7 Pro/7T/7T Pro devices.
