In the year 2020, Google had introduced call recording support to its phone app on Android. However, the service was limited to the United States at launch. The service has begun to appear on the Android phones of Nokia as well as on certain Xiaomi devices.
According to Pixel 4a users in India, Pixel phones have started to get the feature too. Some users had tweeted about the ability to record phone calls on their Pixel.

If you have a Pixel, you can check whether you have received the update by opening Google’s phone app, visiting the Settings option and then search for Call Recording. After enabling the feature, you will be able to view a new option on the dialler UI when you make or receive a phone call. You can also set up the feature to auto-delete saved audios within a specific period of time.
Furthermore, you can ignore the auto-delete options and set them up to require manual deletion, which provides you time for reviewing your recorded conversations. An option to record calls automatically from unknown numbers is also available.
To experience the feature, recording conversations should not be illegal in the country you live in and own a compatible Pixel phone. As of now, only users with Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL and Pixel 4a have reported the availability of this feature.
