Record calls on Huawei and honor: official method
When it comes to the call recording function, users are divided into two camps: some do not understand why it is needed at all, and for others, this feature is the determining factor in choosing a dialer application or even a smartphone in general.
Huawei and Honor phones had this function until the release of EMUI 10.1, but for some reason the entry was cut out in the updated version of the interface. Apparently, this was done at the request of Google, which tightened the screws and made it so that almost all call recording applications stopped working on Android 10. That is, many users were left without an important working tool in principle.
But now Huawei is quarreling with the West and can afford a little initiative, which only benefits their fans. The Chinese have rolled out an application that adds line call recording to the standard dialer on Huawei and Honor phones.
If your device is running EMUI 10.1 or Magic 3.1 and above, simply download and install this APK file on your device. The recording icon will appear in the native dialer automatically; you can also activate automatic call recording in the Phone menu > Settings > Automatic call recording.
You can return call recording to Honor/Huawei with Magic 3.0 interface and EMUI 10. To do this, you will need to download and install this APK file. Once installed, go to Settings > Applications > Applications, find Contacts and give it permission to Storage. Important: this method only works on devices with Google services.
And for Android 9 phones with EMUI 9/9.1 and Magic 2.0/2.1 interface, you need to install the application from here: link. The option is enabled in a similar way in the dialer settings.
In general, this is the simplest way to return automatic call recording to Honor 20, Honor 30, Honor 8X, Huawei P30, P30 Pro, P20 and other current company devices. Use it, but remember that distributing recordings of personal conversations in Russia is punishable by law according to Article 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the secrecy of telephone conversations. Such recordings may only be used for personal purposes.

How to enable automatic call recording on Huawei without root – emui |
Guys, it won’t work on Android 10!!!! Not a single third-party program suits me - they don’t write it and that’s it. You'll have to downgrade to Android 9. While the HiSuite program still has the opportunity to downgrade, because... There is still firmware for 9 EMUI and 9 Android - do it. One very big minus is that all settings, passwords, etc. will be lost. (at least when I did it, everything fell off). True, I was afraid for some reason to update after rolling back and installing the recording option again to Android 10 and EMUI 10. Now the recording is there and works very clearly, but I’m afraid that suddenly during the update the recording ability will disappear again, and I no longer want to suffer with rollbacks and installations, so I’ll go with the “nines”. On Android 10, I repeat, there is no way to return the recording yet. Maybe they'll find it later.
