This feature is available on iPhone models newer than the iPhone X and is subject to regional availability. Here\u2019s how you can use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start a call as you normally would through the Phone app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the new recording icon in the upper-left corner of the call screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The call will begin recording automatically, and both parties will be notified through an automated message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To stop the recording, tap the recording icon again or end the call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The recording will be saved in the Notes app under a folder called &#8220;Call Recordings,&#8221; and if your device supports Apple Intelligence, you can also view real-time transcriptions[3].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Third-Party Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For those using older versions of iOS or in regions where the built-in feature is not available, third-party apps are a viable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Voice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Voice is a free service available in the US and Canada that allows you to record incoming calls. Here\u2019s how to use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download and install the Google Voice app from the App Store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable the &#8220;Incoming call options&#8221; in the settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During an incoming call, tap the number 4 on the keypad to start or stop recording. An automated message will inform both parties that the call is being recorded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The recorded calls will be stored in the voicemail tab of the Google Voice app[1].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rev Call Recorder<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev Call Recorder is another popular app that allows unlimited call recordings and storage. Here\u2019s how to use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the app and tap \u201cStart Recorded Call.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For outgoing calls, enter the phone number and follow the prompts to initiate the call with Rev\u2019s recorder. Merge the calls to start recording.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For incoming calls, accept the call, open the Rev app, and follow the prompts to merge the call with Rev\u2019s recorder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hang up to stop recording. Note that this app only works with U.S. phone numbers[4].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TapeACall and Cube ACR<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Other notable apps include TapeACall and Cube ACR. TapeACall works by merging your call with their servers and offers unlimited recording length and secure storage, though it requires a paid subscription. Cube ACR can record VoIP conversations and offers cloud backup, but it also requires a premium subscription for full functionality[3].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Another Device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer not to use third-party apps, you can record calls using another device. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use another iPhone, tablet, or recording device to record the call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put the call on speakerphone and place the recording device close to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start the recording on the other device and ensure you have the other party\u2019s consent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can use the Apple Voice Memos app on the second device to record the call. This method requires some setup but can be effective[4].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consent<\/strong>: Always inform the other party that you are recording the call, as this is a legal requirement in many states and countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regional Availability<\/strong>: Some features and apps may not be available in all regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Device Compatibility<\/strong>: Ensure that your iPhone model and iOS version support the method you choose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transcriptions<\/strong>: Some methods, like the built-in feature in iOS 18.1, offer automatic transcriptions, which can be very useful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Built-In Recording Feature<\/strong>: Available in iOS 18.1 and later on iPhone models newer than iPhone X, with regional restrictions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Google Voice<\/strong>: Records incoming calls, available in the US and Canada, notifies both parties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rev Call Recorder<\/strong>: Records both incoming and outgoing calls, unlimited storage, but only works with U.S. phone numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TapeACall and Cube ACR<\/strong>: Third-party apps requiring paid subscriptions, offer various features like unlimited recording and cloud backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using Another Device<\/strong>: Can record calls using another iPhone or recording device, requires speakerphone and consent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consent and Legal Compliance<\/strong>: Always inform the other party and comply with local laws regarding call recording.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording phone calls on an iPhone can be a bit more complex than on some other devices, but there are&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2771,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.9 -
