Frequently Asked Questions
What is root and why is `Rooted Recording` required on some devices?
A general overview of what "root" is on Android can be best explained here:
WIKI (Rooting Android)
On some devices, both sides of the call audio cannot be acquired from the android system directly,
this is particularly the case as of Android 9.0 due to new security changes in how audio policies are managed on the device.
Rooted recording, on some devices, can overcome this limitation as it's not restricted by the system - due to having elevated privileges and thus allows direct access to the call audio.
