- Nothing phones call record feature now arrives automatically through the Essential Space update, no manual installation required.
- Users can instantly start recording calls using either the Essential Key shortcut or the call notification option.
- The feature is currently live for Nothing Phone (3), Phone (3a), and Phone (3a) Pro in select countries including India, Japan, and the UK.
The Nothing Phone call record feature is finally rolling out, giving users a much-requested native option to record calls. Instead of arriving through a full OS update, Nothing is adding this feature via the Essential Space app, making it a simple yet practical improvement for supported devices.
It’s a small change but a useful one, especially for people who often need to keep track of their calls. This update allows users to record phone calls directly from the system without using any third-party apps. It’s simple, clean, and built right into the phone.
Nothing phone call record feature rolling out via Essential Space
How the new call record feature works
Once the update reaches your device, the feature gets added automatically. When you’re on a call, you can start recording it in two easy ways. First, you can just long press the Essential Key on your device while talking. That starts recording right away.
Second, there’s a “Start recording” button in the ongoing call notification. Tap that, and the call begins recording instantly. After the call ends, the file will be saved automatically inside the Essential Space app. You can find all your recordings there, organized and easy to access whenever you need them.
Automatic rollout, no manual update needed
Nothing said that this update is being rolled out automatically, so you don’t have to do anything manually. You won’t need to check for updates or install any firmware. It’s a server-side update, which means the feature will just appear one day when you open your phone. This approach makes it easier for users since everything happens in the background.
Supported devices and regions
Currently, the call recording feature is available for the following Nothing models:
- Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
- Nothing Phone (3)
- Nothing Phone (3a)
The rollout has begun in select countries, including India, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, the UK, and South Korea. Nothing stated that more regions will receive the feature soon, though no specific timeline has been provided.
Why this update matters
This is a practical update that many users have been waiting for. Being able to record calls natively without using outside apps is not only more convenient but also safer for privacy. It helps people who need to document conversations for work or personal reasons without extra steps or tools.
Overall, the new call record feature shows how the company is paying attention to what users want. It’s not a flashy addition, but it’s something that improves everyday usability. If you have one of the supported models, keep your phone connected to the internet, and you’ll likely get the feature soon.
