Is There No Way to Automatically Record Phone Calls Anymore?
I'm still using an old phone (LG G7 ThinQ), and their Phone app has a built-in recording.
If I wanted to use another phone app (or when I upgrade phones), I would lose this feature. And I have looked (albeit not too much) and found that there's no way to record phone calls unless you root or it has to be built-in on the phone like some Samsung or Xiaomi phones.
i specifically use Cube ACR
as far as i know, since android 11, google forbid built in call recording to every manufacturer
the ban for recording, was there a good reason?
More likely concerns about legality in certain localities.
Not sure if this helps any, but I'm currently using this app on LineageOS (Android version 10) on a Google Pixel 3a.
I hear ya mate, and not even Samsung now. Definitely not comfortable using a third party either.
Best solution is to unlock bootloader, root your device and use Basic Call Recorder Magisk module. Feature-Packed, fast, stable.
On my previous Galaxy S5 device I didn't need root for this, however on my current Android 10 device root is mandatory to record calls โน๏ธ

Isn't it illegal?
Only in certain places.
In the US, for example, there are some states that only require consent from one party involved in the conversation to make recording it legal.
Other states require consent from both (or all) parties involved otherwise it would be illegal.
Pretty sure it is. Only third party software and custom ROMs allow it
asking to transition the conversation to email or just start with email. Calls for me have been simply dumbed down to nothing other than informal conversation. If I have some try to talk to me about professional things, then i ask for an email, and I will email them back. Also, ask for any documentation by email because anything they say to me is on deaf ears unless there an email that can be sent with it. I have given up on phone calling. It is just nothing more than an annoyance for me. Text me or email me. Calling me is useless.
Good Lord, you sound fucking painful to work with. Explaining complex shit over chat is a massive fucking pain in the ass.
Explaining complex topics over phone calls is worse

If it is an issue that can be fixed in 3 minutes, then I don't see how that is turning into multiple emails over a span of weeks. Also, most people are not being paid enough to be on call out of work, and I would rather not have a phone call off the clock. I never got reported to management. In fact, more trouble seems to happen from these phone calls where I have to just remember what was said instead of reading an email for when I misremember a task or crucial step.
Lazy to respond to emails & having a "black hole inbox" seems at least as deserving of being reported to management.
Bullshit... That's what mail rules are for.
