When it comes to audio recording apps, the Pixel-exclusive Google Recorder covers all the bases. It can automatically transcribe your audio files and cleverly sync them to the cloud for easier access across devices. However, because recordings are sandboxed away from the rest of your storage, file manager apps can’t access them. Fortunately, we knew this could change soon, and that day is finally here.
With the release of Recorder version 4.2.20260823 last week, Google appears to have quietly enabled the “Allow recordings in other apps” toggle within the app’s settings page.
