Is it legal to record WhatsApp calls?

Yes — recording WhatsApp calls can be legal, but only if you comply with local recording and privacy laws.

Legality depends on consent requirements, which vary by country:

• One-party consent (e.g. USA, UK, most of Europe): recording is legal if at least one participant (typically the person doing the recording) consents. You do not need to inform the other party, though it's best practice to do so.
• Two-party (all-party) consent (e.g. some US states, Germany, Australia): all participants must consent before recording begins.

Best practice regardless of jurisdiction: inform participants that the call may be recorded. This protects you legally and builds trust.

Always check local regulations before implementing call recording in your sales process, especially for cross-border calls.
