Frequently asked questions

Can I record a WhatsApp conversation?

The question of recording a conversation has three sides: technical, moral and ethical, and legal.

From a technical point of view, you can record everything that the software installed on the device allows you to record.

For ethical reasons, it's best to notify the person you're talking to that a recording is in progress.

The legal side of the issue looks more complicated. The legislation prohibits transferring to third parties or in any way distributing data about the personal life of the interlocutor without his consent, as well as commercial information. That is, if you are discussing the nuances of the technical task with the customer, it makes sense to warn him that you want to record the conversation, and, of course, the received file cannot be transferred to outsiders. The same applies to chats with work colleagues. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the collection and transfer of information about private life is possible only in the interests of society and the state. However, it is not considered a violation if the citizen himself allowed the disclosure of some part of personal information. Accordingly, if for any reason you want to record a private conversation, you cannot do this without warning. Making secret recordings of personal conversations or transferring them to outsiders is prohibited by law.

Can I record a WhatsApp video call?

Yes, you can. WhatsApp does not have a recording function or a dedicated recording application, but it can be done using other programs and tools:

• Movavi Screen Recorder

• Screencapture.com

• Mobizen (for Android users)

• Screen mirroring software (for Android and iOS users)

• Built-in video recording (for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch)

How can I record WhatsApp calls without the app?

The only way to record WhatsApp calls without an app is to use iPhone, because iPhone has a built-in screen recording tool. In addition, you will need to download the whatsapp call recorder app.
