# Android

There is no Aila Android app. Android users have two options.

| Option | Best for | Uploads to Aila |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Pocket** (recommended) | Loan officers who want every call captured automatically | Automatic |
| **Native Android call recording** | Occasional calls, or trying Aila before buying hardware | Manual upload |

## Option 1: Pocket (recommended)

A Pocket recorder captures your calls, and the Pocket app on your phone receives each recording. Aila connects to your Pocket account, so recordings flow into Aila automatically.

1. Get a [Pocket recorder](https://heypocket.com/).
2. Install the Pocket app from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=pocket%20ai%20recorder&c=apps) and pair your device.
3. Connect Pocket to Aila. See [Pocket](https://docs.aila.fyi/capture/pocket).

Each recording that moves from the device into the Pocket app is sent to Aila and processed.

## Option 2: Native Android call recording

Many Android phones can record calls in the Phone app. Availability depends on your phone, your carrier, and your country. Both parties hear a notice that the call is being recorded.

### Turn on call recording

Follow Google's guide: [Record a phone call](https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9803950). In short:

1. Open the **Phone** app (Phone by Google).
2. Tap **More > Settings > Call recording**.
3. Choose to always record certain calls, or tap **Record** during a call.

### Get the recording into Aila

Native recordings stay on the phone, so upload each one:

1. In the Phone app, open **Recents** and tap the recorded call.
2. Tap the recording, then **Share** to save the audio file to your phone or email it to yourself.
3. In Aila on the web, open **Calls** and click **Upload**.
4. Optionally enter the **Client name**, then select the audio file. Processing starts after the upload.

After upload, the call is processed like any other: the [Intake Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/intake) builds the file and updates the CRM, and the [Call Compliance Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/compliance) scores it.
