- Code within Android 14 Developer Preview 2 facilitates audio interception and recording.
- This could be used to stream phone call audio between Android devices.
- This feature is not confirmed, nor announced but could come in future Android releases.
Apple has a neat trick in its ecosystem called Continuity. When you sign in to your Apple ID on multiple devices, you can use Continuity to move seamlessly between them. For instance, you can take a phone call on your iPad or Mac, even though those devices don’t have traditional telephony hardware or functions. If you’re an Android lover, Google may be working on its own version of this call streaming feature, letting you take phone calls on your Android tablet.
Android 14 Developer Preview 2 has added a new SYSTEM_CALL_STREAMING role that apps can request to hold, granting them certain permissions and privileges. As spotted by Mishaal Rahman, this role grants permissions related to audio interception and recording and will likely be used to stream phone call audio between Android devices.
