To record a phone call, the method depends on your device type (iPhone or Android) and available apps or features:

For iPhone

  • Use the built-in Voice Memos app:
    1. Open the Voice Memos app.
    2. Tap the red record button to start recording.
    3. Make or receive the call and ensure the conversation is ongoing.
    4. Tap stop to end and save the recording.
    5. Access and share the recording from the app
  • Alternatively, with iOS 18.1 or later, you can record calls directly and get transcripts via the Phone app and Notes app, but this requires the latest iOS version

For Android

  • Use the built-in voice recorder app if available or download a third-party app from Google Play.
    1. Open the voice recorder app.
    2. Tap record before or during the call.
    3. Conduct your call.
    4. Stop recording when finished.
    5. Access recordings in the app
  • Use Google Voice to record incoming calls:
    1. Set up a Google Voice account and app.
    2. Enable incoming call recording in settings.
    3. During a call, press "4" to start/stop recording.
    4. Recordings are saved in Google Voice voicemail
  • On Samsung Galaxy phones with One UI 7 or later:
    1. Open the Phone app.
    2. Tap the Record icon during a call.
    3. Calls are recorded, transcribed, and summarized (if supported).
    4. Participants are notified of recording

Other options

  • Use third-party apps like Dialpad or OpenPhone that offer easy call recording with a tap of a button during calls

Important notes

  • Always inform and get consent from all parties before recording calls, as laws vary by region.
  • Check your device storage before recording.
  • Some methods only record incoming calls (e.g., Google Voice).

This gives you multiple ways to record phone calls depending on your device and preferences
