This is Google’s policy and only applies to the Google Play store. they are going to release a fully functional version of ACR called “ACR Unchained” on other app stores such as Huawei and Samsung and keep required permissions for accessing phone numbers during the call. Unfortunately, Google Play Store policy prevents them from providing direct app downloads from their website.

Note: Call recording is not allowed in some countries, follow this article at your own risk. I am writing this to help those who have the call recording permissions in their country.

How to fix unknown caller name?

Because Google has full control of Google Play and Android security is being improved day by day. Google not going to allow these apps to access phone numbers during calls so call recording apps developers are bound to follow Google’s policy if they need to be in Google Play. but I have a solution for unknown caller name for you today.

How does it work?

As we all know that android apps developer must follow google policies and keep apps updated as per policy changed to comply with new Google policies. But in this case, we know that the previous versions of the application was working well. So we can find an old version of the call recorder app or any other app before the current version which is not working for us due to some changes in application.

Android apps developers can’t leave the Google Play store because this effect directly their earnings from Android applications. Let suppose someone made the best application and selling directly from their website, will this work for them. no this will end up with failure because 99% of people prefer using free applications including me.

So developers earning are totally depends on Google Adsense ads, so they are publishing apps on Google Play to get maximum downloads for their apps.
