Code discovered in the latest version of the Google Phone app has revealed more details about its unannounced call recording feature, 9to5Google reports. Most intriguing is a snippet of code that suggests the upcoming feature addition could also support call transcription, which would be similar to the Recorder app that the company debuted on the Pixel 4.

Code snippets suggest that the app will warn you to comply with local laws while using the feature, and it also appears as though it will play a short audio clip to warn participants when a call is being recorded.
What’s still unclear is when the new functionality could launch.

The Google Phone app is currently the default dialer app on Google Pixel, Android One, and Xiaomi’s European smartphones.
