You can record phone calls on an iPhone using the built-in call recording feature introduced in iOS 18.1, available on iPhone models newer than iPhone X running iOS 16.5 or later. Here is how to do it:
- Open the Phone app and make a call.
- Once the other person answers, tap the new recording icon in the upper-left corner of the call screen.
- Both parties will hear an audio notice that the call is being recorded.
- To stop recording, tap the recording icon again or simply hang up.
- After the call ends, the recording is saved automatically in the Notes app under a folder called "Call Recordings."
- You can also view a transcript of the call in the Notes app if your language and region support it.
This feature notifies both parties to comply with privacy laws and is only available in select countries and regions. If your iPhone or iOS version does not support this feature, you may need to use third-party apps like Rev Call Recorder, which allows call recording and transcription but may have limitations such as working only with U.S. phone numbers
. In summary, the native call recording is simple and integrated with the Notes app, making it easy to access recordings and transcripts directly on your iPhone.
