To record calls on an iPhone, you can use 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:

How to Record Calls on iPhone with iOS 18.1 or Later

  1. Start a call using the Phone app or FaceTime audio.
  2. During the call, tap the new recording icon in the upper-left corner of the call screen.
  3. Both parties will hear an audio notification that the call is being recorded, complying with privacy laws.
  4. To stop recording, tap the recording icon again or end the call.
  5. The recording is automatically saved in the Notes app under a folder named "Call Recordings."
  6. If your device supports it, you can also view a transcript of the call in the Notes app, which can be searched, copied, or shared.

This feature is region- and language-dependent and is not available in certain countries such as the European Union, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and others, so you should check Apple's iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website for your location

Alternative Methods for Older iOS Versions or Unsupported Regions

  • Use third-party apps like Rev Call Recorder , which allows recording calls by merging calls with their recording line. This app is free, supports unlimited recordings, and offers transcription services for a fee, but works only with U.S. phone numbers
  • Use a secondary device with a recording app (like Voice Memos on another iPhone or iPad) to record the call on speakerphone

Important Notes

  • Both parties must be notified when a call is recorded.
  • Legal restrictions vary by region, so ensure you comply with local laws before recording calls

This built-in feature in iOS 18.1 makes call recording straightforward without needing extra apps or complicated setups
