How to save a call in WhatsApp - in detail?

Saving a call in WhatsApp can be incredibly useful for preserving important conversations, whether they are voice or video calls. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do this:

Voice Calls

To save a voice call, you'll need to use a third-party app because WhatsApp itself doesn't provide a built-in feature for saving voice calls directly. One popular option is "Cube ACR" (Automatic Call Recorder). Here’s how to do it:

  1. Download and Install Cube ACR: Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download Cube ACR.
  2. Set Up Cube ACR: Open the app after installation and follow the setup instructions. You might need to grant permission for the app to record calls.
  3. Start a WhatsApp Voice Call: Initiate a voice call on WhatsApp as you normally would.
  4. Let Cube ACR Record: The app will automatically start recording the call once it begins.
  5. Save the Recording: After ending the call, open Cube ACR to find your recorded conversation. You can then save or share it as needed.

Video Calls

WhatsApp does not natively support saving video calls either. However, you can use screen recording features available on both Android and iOS devices:

On Android

  1. Enable Screen Recording: Ensure your device supports screen recording. This feature is available on most modern Android devices.
  2. Start a WhatsApp Video Call: Initiate a video call on WhatsApp.
  3. Activate Screen Recorder: Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the quick settings menu and tap on the "Screen record" icon (it looks like a circle with a dot inside).
  4. Start Recording: Tap on the screen recorder to begin recording your video call.
  5. End the Call: Once the call is over, swipe down from the top of your screen again and tap the screen recorder icon to stop recording.
  6. Save the Video: The recorded video will be saved in your device’s gallery or a designated folder for screen recordings.

On iOS

  1. Add Screen Recording to Control Center: Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, and add "Screen Recording".
  2. Start a WhatsApp Video Call: Initiate the video call on WhatsApp.
  3. Activate Screen Recorder: Swipe up from the bottom of your screen (or down from the top-right corner for newer models) to access Control Center, then tap the "Screen Record" icon (a circle with a dot inside).
  4. Start Recording: Tap the screen recorder to begin recording your video call. You might need to grant permission for the app to record your screen.
  5. End the Call: Once the call is over, go back to Control Center and tap the screen recorder icon again to stop recording.
  6. Save the Video: The recorded video will be saved in your Photos app.

Additional Tips

  • Notifications: Always inform the other party that you are going to record the call to ensure transparency and comply with local laws regarding call recording.
  • Storage: Be mindful of storage space, as recorded calls can take up a significant amount of memory on your device.

By following these steps, you can effectively save both voice and video calls in WhatsApp, ensuring that important conversations are preserved for future reference.
