How to Edit Call History Log on Android Mobile App 📱✨

Ever wished you could tweak your call log on your Android device? Maybe you want to correct an incorrect entry, add a missed call, or remove a record for privacy reasons. While Android doesn’t provide built-in options to edit the call history, there are ways to make changes. Let’s dive into how you can do it! 🚀

📌 Can You Edit Call Logs on Android?

By default, Android doesn’t allow direct modifications to call logs for security reasons. However, you can still manage call logs by deleting and adding new entries. For advanced modifications, special tools or root access may be required.

📋 Method 1: Manually Managing Call Logs (No Root Required)

If you don’t need to modify an existing entry but just want to delete or add calls, follow these steps:

🗑️ Delete a Call Log Entry

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Navigate to Call History 📞.
3. Long-press the call entry you want to delete.
4. Tap Delete 🗑️.

➕ Add a New Call Log (Workaround Method)

1. Simply dial the number you want to appear in the log.
2. Let it ring for a second and then end the call.
3. The new call will now appear in your call history.

🔧 Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps (No Root Required)

Several apps on the Google Play Store allow you to modify or fake call logs. Some popular options include:

✅ Call Log Editor and Backup – Lets you add, modify, and delete call logs. ✅ Fake Call Log – Great for creating fake call records.

📌 Note: Some apps have limitations due to Android’s security policies. Always download from trusted sources!

🛠️ Method 3: Editing Call Logs with ADB Commands (Advanced Users)

If you’re tech-savvy, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to interact with call logs without root access.

Steps:

1. Enable Developer Options by going to Settings > About Phone > Tap ‘Build Number’ 7 times.
2. Turn on USB Debugging in Developer Options.
3. Connect your phone to a PC and install ADB tools.
4. Run the following command in a terminal:

   adb shell content query --uri content://call_log/calls
   

   This lists all call logs.

5. To delete a specific entry:

   adb shell content delete --uri content://call_log/calls --where "_id=?" --whereArgs="CALL_ID"
   

📌 Tip: You cannot directly edit entries, but you can delete and add new ones.

🔥 Method 4: Editing Call Logs with Root Access (Expert Users Only)

If your phone is rooted, you can directly edit the call log database.

Steps:

1. Install a Root File Explorer like Root Explorer.
2. Navigate to:

   /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
   

3. Open the database using an SQLite Editor.
4. Edit the calls table to modify call details.
5. Save changes and restart your phone.

⚠️ Warning: Rooting your device can void the warranty and expose it to security risks.
