An array of issues since update.

[NeeNee35]

I live In a 1 person party state. Meaning that it is LEGAL for me to record phone calls, as I am considered that 1 party. It was available at one time and now isn't. Another annoying issue that has happened since update, my phone will shut off on its own to do optimization etc doesn't matter if I'm on a phone call etc. And another issue, my internet will drop off and on for no reason. And now while on calls it gets horribly staticky (not every call but enough to p me off) where I've had to end the call and try again bc they can't hear me. What is up with this update? I know there are 3rd party apps that would allow call recording, can anyone recommend a good and trusted one that also doesn't alert that the call is being recorded again I'm breaking no laws

I think the Telegram app allows call recordings. I personally don't have it, but a friend of mine does. I hope this helps.
