Solved: Voice Recorder

Why the hell does the Voice Recorder needs permission of Nearby devices and Phone to do a normal voice recording. It doesn't even start if you don't give these permissions!

This is just outright breach on customers' control of their devices.

No, even we turned off Bluetooth and no device connected, still it asking permission in order to use the app.

The nearby device permission significance: can voice record if the device is connected to a Bluetooth device.
The Phone permission significance: Due to Google's privacy policy, Samsung has changed the source to the voice recording app to identify the caller for the call recordings.
You can visit the following website for more information and here is a screenshot which can help you.

Does it ?
.
Here it says only needs Microphone and Storage permissions...
.
Other are optional
.
Which app you are using brother ? 🙄

I am using the inbuilt Voice Recorder app of Samsung. And no it doesn't open even after giving microphone and storage permissions. Refer to attached screenshots.

The link opens the same app which I have. Are you using One UI 3 or 4?

mHappiee · ‎01-25-2022

3.1

WalkieTechie · ‎01-25-2022

Maybe then this issue is happening only in One UI 4!
