Download ACR Phone Helper (APH) with Accessibility Service for Android 10+

ACR Phone Helper (APH) with Accessibility Service works together with ACR Phone. Download ACR Phone from Google Play Store if you have not installed it yet.

Please do not forget to rate ACR Phone once you are happy. Many people are blaming Google's policy change on us and simply giving 1 star reviews without contacting us. Our hands are tied. Google Play Store Policies are so strict, we cannot even mention APH in ACR Phone let alone linking to APH download page.

 

Installation Video

Here's a video that shows how to install ACR Phone Helper (APH) with Accessibility Service from the NLL Store and activate its Accessibility Service. If your phone uses one of the other app stores listed above, you can install it from there instead by tapping the corresponding icon.

Accessibility Service issues

Please note that some phones have aggressive power management features and can turn off APH Accessibility Service. Try following if you get notifications about Accessibility Service being disabled.

• Enable Notification option in APH
• Add APH to protected apps (see https://dontkillmyapp.com for how to)
• Do not close ACR from recent apps screen by swiping away or clearing your phone's memory

 

History and Accessibility Service info

Call recording by 3rd party apps completely blocked by Google on Android 10+. The only way to record any audio was using Accessibility Service APIs.

Starting from 11th May 2022 Google Play Store has banned Accessibility Service usage for call recording on apps published on Google Play Store. In order to overcome this limitation, we have created a companion app for of ACR Phone called ACR Phone Helper (APH). You simply continue installing ACR Phone from Google Play Store and install ACR Phone Helper (APH) to activate call recording as before.

ACR Phone would only record silent audio without ACR Phone Helper (APH) and would warn you about its limitation.

Please note that ACR Phone is not just a call recorder. While call recording may be seen as its main feature due to our previous call recording app ACR Call Recorder (legacy). It is one of many features of ACR Phone. Please explore rest of its features at nllapps.com

 

Call recording quality with Accessibility Service

ACR Phone with ACR Phone Helper (APH) cannot improve call recording quality but prevents silent recording. Try below options for best possible call recording.

• Remove any other call recording apps and turn off legacy ACR Call Recorder if it is still installed.
• Try changing Audio Encoder in Recording settings.
• Try adjusting Recording Audio Gain under Call Recording Settings
• Try enabling loud speaker to see if it helps.
• Make sure you are not using any headphones of Bluetooth headset.
• Make sure Wi-Fi calling is not enabled.
• Open Accessibility Settings of your phone and toggle ACR Phone Helper (APH) off and then on again.
• Keep ACR Phone on the screen. Some phones can only record when ACR Phone is on the screen and screen is on.
• Do not close ACR Phone and ACR Phone Helper (APH) from recent app and apply settings from https://dontkillmyapp.com/

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do if above information doesn’t help. This issue will be same with all call recording apps.
