I can see their privacy focus behind this, and I kinda like it... But this pushback against call recording can make harder for whistleblowers, or people under abusive relationships that need proof, to get evidence. Considering most phones don't have a 3.5mm audio jack, legit call recording seems hard to do for the average user

I don't know what to think about this
