Voice recording on Samsung notes and voice recorder stops when I receive a call

[Tenems]

Even if i do not answer the call, my recording still gets cancelled. I get that the call has to use the microphone but what if i do not want to take the call at this moment or what if I'm just not able to take the call and is doing something else and now my voice recording is ruined. I usually record stuff when I'm in class and even when my phone is on DND my voice recording still gets cancelled. Imagine focusing on note taking, thinking your phone was recording just to notice at the very end that 2 mins after starting the voice recording someone called you rendering the recording void. All that thinking you were safe because " do not disturb" was on. Even when you physically go and disable all notifications from apps such as WhatsApp calls still get in and cancel your recording I truly hate this. 

Please samsung fix this issues it's so annoying to have my recording being ruined because of random spam calls

Turn on this toggle; then you should have no problem. I don't think "do not disturb" has anything to do with voice recording. 😊

I have this on but calls from social media still do get in for both the voice recorder and Samsung notes .

Then disable alerts from such calls. Personally I find it annoying for someone to use social media to call me.

If the person does the have my number then they shouldn't have access to call me and use text on such mediums. I don't make the mistake that an unseen or unknown in person contact over social media to be more than an acquaintance. Just my upbringing though

The problem is that these are people that I would normally answer the call in a heartbeat but just the fact that I'm working with my phone and I don't necessarily want the call to turn of my mic even tho I fully know that I'm not going to answer the call

Hi Tenems,

We truly understand how this can be a frustrating situation. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we're always working to enhance user experience and address such concerns.

In the meantime, here are a few suggestions that might help mitigate the issue:

Enable Airplane Mode: This will stop all incoming calls and ensure uninterrupted recording.

Restrict Specific Apps: Explore your phone's notification settings to block call permissions for apps like WhatsApp while recording.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience. Your feedback will be forwarded to the relevant team for further review.

Thank you for helping us improve!

Did all of those 2 but nothing works. When there's an incoming call my recordings univitably get cancelled no matter what. So there's no workaround unless I delete those social media apps from which I'm getting calls . Even placing those app in secure folder and deactivating all notifications won't help and that is absolutely frustrating.
