Noticed today that call recording was enabled on my Pixel 8. A feature that I used to have years ago on Android 6/7 or so with ACR Pro, but that Google in their great wisdom then took away. Now they've seen it fit to finally give this feature back as a 1st party one. Last checked the previous autumn and it wasn't there yet.
Of course, just expecting them to take it away again at any moment.
(You may suggest GrapheneOS / rooting / Sailfish / etc. as a reply, but it will be ignored.)
