To record a conversation on an iPhone, you have several options depending on whether you want to record a phone call or a general audio conversation:

Recording a Phone Call on iPhone (iOS 18.1 and later)

• iOS 18.1 introduced a built-in call recording feature for supported iPhone models (iPhone SE, XR through 13, 14, 15 Pro, 16, etc.) and regions where this is legal.
• To record a call:
  1. Make a call from the Phone app.
  2. Tap the new recording icon on the call screen to start recording.
  3. Both parties hear a notification that the call is being recorded.
  4. To stop, tap the recording icon again or end the call.
  5. The recording and transcript are saved automatically in the Notes app under a Call Recordings folder, where you can play back or view the transcript

Note: Call recording is not available in some countries and regions due to legal restrictions

Recording Conversations or Voice Memos (Non-Call)

• Use the built-in Voice Memos app:
  1. Open the Voice Memos app (usually in the Utilities folder).
  2. Tap the red record button to start recording.
  3. Tap the pause or stop button to pause or end the recording.
  4. Save and rename the recording as needed.
• This method is suitable for interviews, lectures, or any audio conversation not on a phone call.
• You can edit recordings within the app and share them via email, messages, or cloud services

Alternative Methods for Call Recording (if not on iOS 18 or unsupported

device)

• Use a second device to record the call on speakerphone with Voice Memos or another recording app.
• Use third-party apps like Rev Call Recorder, which allows recording calls by merging calls through their service (mostly for U.S. numbers)

Important Legal Note

• Always inform and get consent from the other party before recording any call or conversation, as laws vary by location and unauthorized recording may be illegal

In summary, for phone calls on iOS 18.1+, use the built-in call recording feature via the Phone app. For other conversations, use the Voice Memos app. If your device or region does not support native call recording, use a second device or third-party apps with consent.
