Then that is something that Samsung needs to work on. This is quite annoying, especially when it activates by the normal act of using the phone. Do better than just saying it can't be removed. It is an obvious issue which needs to be addressed quickly.
It can be removed or changed by Samsung if they choose to. It cannot be removed by users. The only remedy for those that don't want the feature would be to download an alternate phone dialer app from the Play store. As far as I know, both Google dialers (Google Voice and Phone by Google) do not have the recording feature and neither has ads. I do not know whether other dialers have ads (who wants ads on their dialer?)

+1 to this. The record call button can be accidentally activated if your phone lightly brushed your face and turns what should be regular use into a potential security issue. Either need a way to disable the "feature" (which was possible before so don't bs about being unable to do so) or it needs to be able be moved... or maybe a third option would be to have a way to control how it's activated.
-maybe thumb scan for activation
-multi tap press for activation + confirmation press
-long press + confirmation press
You shouldn't be able to accidentally press it, that's wild... the text on the screen telling you it's about to record is useless if you have the phone up to your ear, this feature was clearly added in the box without use testing done. Please fix.
Also, the battery icon is a hideous unnecessary change.
I will be leaving the Samsung family after 20 years over this call record issue it's crazy that u can't turn it off and by these other post it looks like they are telling us to go f### ourselves if we don't like it .
