How to Stop Call Recording Announcement in Poco C51?

by

Ever wished you could record calls without the annoying “This call is now being recorded” announcement on your Poco C51? Well, now you can!

The device comes with a built-in Google Dialer app.  One annoying thing about the dialer is the automated message that plays when you start recording a call.

This announcement informs both parties that the call is being recorded and can be disruptive and unnecessary in certain situations.

With a few simple steps and a third-party app, you can easily disable this announcement and enjoy uninterrupted call recordings.

What You’ll Need:

  • Your Poco C51 smartphone
  • Third-party TTS (Text-to-Speech) app (TTSLexx recommended)
  • Access to your phone’s settings.

Steps to Disable the Call Recording Announcement

  1. Install a Third-Party TTS App: Download a third-party TTS app like TTSLexx from the Google Play Store. These apps allow you to customize your phone’s text-to-speech settings.

    1. Open the Google Play Store.
    2. Locate the Google Dialer app.
    3. Tap the three-dot menu.
    4. Select “Disable auto-update”.
  3. Set Preferred TTS Engine: Select the third-party TTS engine you installed (TTSLexx) as your preferred text-to-speech output:

    2. Select “App info”.
    3. Go to “Storage”.
    4. Tap “Clear all data”.
  5. Restart Your Phone: Restart your Poco C51 to complete the process.

Testing Your Success:
