Where Are Call Recordings Stored on Android?
Call recording folders differ by vendor with in-app playback. Samsung, Xiaomi, and Google Phone paths.
Last updated
Android has no single call recording folder; each vendor picks its own. Samsung saves into Internal storage/Recordings, browsable in Voice Recorder under Call recordings and from the Phone app. Xiaomi HyperOS uses MIUI/sound_recorder/call_rec, older notes say mobile phone/MIUI/Sound_recorder/Call_rec.
Google's Phone app keeps recordings inside the app under Recents with no stable file path, staying on device by policy. Availability itself varies by model, region, and carrier, and auto recording needs enabling first. Check the dialer app before the file manager; the recording may exist with no browsable copy.
