7. FAQs
Why can’t I select required Call & SMS permissions in the LeadSquared Mobile App?
- Issue: Users are unable to select the required call settings in the LeadSquared Mobile App.
- Root Cause: Effective from Android v20.6 and above, Call & SMS Tracking features are available directly on the LeadSquared Mobile App. Unless users require the call recording feature, they don’t need to install the Call & SMS tracker.
This issue is typically caused when the “Track calls” option is disabled in the mobile app settings of the web application.
- Solution: To resolve this –
- Go to Settings in the web application.
- Navigate to Mobile App>Permissions>Call and SMS.
- Ensure that the required permissions for tracking calls and SMS are all enabled.

Is this app to track others messages n calls or for myself
Hi Elizabeth. The Call and SMS Tracker App is no longer required as the features are directly available on the LeadSquared Mobile App.
The tracker application did not work on iOS phones. If possible, could you check and update me soon?
Hi, Siva. On iOS devices, outbound calls can be tracked when they are placed directly from the LeadSquared mobile app (and NOT from the mobile device dialpad), while inbound calls cannot be tracked.
Does this answer your question?
Please let me know if I can track location in iOS devices.
Hi Siva, Yes, the feature to track the location of your users is available on iOS.
1. You must enable Location Tracking on the LeadSquared Web App. Navigate to Settings>Mobile App>Permissions.
2. Edit the permissions and ensure that the relevant boxes alongside Track real-time location are checked. Click Save.
3. Ensure that the GPS and Location Services on your users’ mobile phones are turned on. Make sure your users are checking-in and checking-out.

Hello, Aaryan.
Can you please elaborate on your issue?
Hi, one of my team member is having trouble in getting the inbound and outbound call activity logged. It is not at all consistent in that case. It only logs inbound and outbound call activities randomly. Most often than not it does not work.
Hi, Nandu.

How to get this call recorder app for IOS mobile ??
Hello, Aadarsh.
The LeadSquared Call and SMS Tracker app is not available for iOS devices.
When can I expect this app for iOS?
We have this item in our pipeline. As per the Apple guidelines, we will be able to support only outbound call tracking functionality. Inbound calls and SMS tracking cannot be supported.
So how can I track outbound calls? if answer is yes then let know how to do it.
thank you !
Hey, Aadarsh. Only inbound call tracking for iOS devices is in our pipeline. Outbound calls cannot be tracked because of privacy restrictions imposed by Apple. However, you can use the Mobile Cloud Calling feature to track both inbound and outbound calls placed from your account. To know more, contact your account manager, or mail support@leadsquared.com.
Hey, Aadarsh. Apologies, the previous comment is incorrect. On iOS devices, outbound calls can be tracked, when they are placed directly from the LeadSquared mobile app (and NOT from the mobile device dialpad), while inbound calls cannot be tracked.

Hey, Can the manager also listen to the call recording of a agent? I am unable to see it for my team…
Hi, Dhruv. Yes, the sales manager can also listen to their sales users’ call recordings. On the web application, the recording will be displayed on the Activity History screen of the Lead Details page. On the mobile app, navigate to the Lead Details page and tap on Activity History. Tap on the relevant outbound call activity. On the Activity Details page, alongside Recording, tap on Tap to Listen.
Hi how to get the recordings and is there any analysis available. For the call records and sms. Somelike if I want analyse day wise, agent wise, project wise , total hours, active hours, waste call time, productive call time.
Hi, Anuj. You can find these on the Phone Call Metrics Report. You can also view a detailed Call Analysis report in SIERA.
Is auto dailling option available on this.
Hi, Anuj. Thanks for reaching out. Auto-dialling is currently not supported through the app. When you tap on the lead’s number, the number is auto-populated on your phone’s dialer pad. Here, you’ll have to tap the call button to place the call to the lead. Hope this helps.
can we upload call record to LSQ
Hi, Faisal. If you’re asking about uploading an existing call recording file to LeadSquared, then yes, it can be done by attaching the file as an Activity Attachment.
But if you’re asking if you can upload the call record logs to LeadSquared, then no, this cannot be done. Hope this helps.
Can we also record calls?
Hi, Vrindha. Yes, you can record calls, provided on the Permissions page, under Call and SMS, the Record Calls permission is enabled.
Hi Sri,
I have tried the call recording, but is not being available in the activity history. The play icon comes but there is no sound in the recording its all blank, also I was told that this feature use to work few years back but doesn’t work anymore. Could you please share me few models of mobile phones it would still work.
Hi, Lalit. This is most likely an issue caused by the device you’re using. We don’t have a list of recommended devices. We’d suggest you try the feature on a different phone, and check if it works there. As an alternative, we’d recommend you use the Cloud Calling feature to record calls.
I cannot install LSQ after following all the instructions. Please help
Hi, Isaac. That shouldn’t be happening. Can you please elaborate on the issue you’re facing, and send it as a mail to support@leadsquared.com.
