This just happened to me and I am a little shook. Very weird. I was talking to my friend in NYC and randomly this voice came on the line saying “this call is being recorded”
He heard it as well. We both have iPhones and were just talking over the PSTN. Wtf
This usually happens when the person you call is trying to record the call using Google’s “phone” app.
Yeah, sounds like a phone call recording app that is allowed to operate on the App Store under the condition that the recording is loudly announced.
I really hate Google dictating the use of two-party consent even in my one-party consent state. I have every right to record phone calls without having it play that message, but not the ability because of Google’s gatekeeping!
You are correct, you have the right to be an asshole.
TIL augmenting my memory is “be[ing] an asshole,” but telling me that I don’t have the right to help myself remember isn’t.
No, being the asshole is expecting other people to be recorded for your benefit - without first telling them so that they can consent. And then blaming Google for it.
You consented by calling me. Fuck off with this notion that you’re allowed to dictate what I am or am not allowed to do with my own property.
Lol that’s not how that works at all. How do you know they aren’t in a 2 party consent state? Why would they assume you are going to be recording the calls? I sure don’t assume that when I am calling anyone.
I always answer my phone with “this call may be recorded for training and quality assurance purposes” just to scare off scammers anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
Your friend is a mole from the FBI trying to find out what time your smuggled shipment is arriving at the docks. Just make sure to take plenty of muscle with you and you’ll be fine. First sign of Batman get out of there.
That’s pretty creepy. I had computer voices asking me whether I agree to being recorded for training purposes when calling customer support and the likes. But never during a private call.
Maybe contact/write to your provider or something?
Do one of ya sell drugs?
depends on who’s asking. Are you a cop?
