\”ZDNET reports that with the latest iOS 18 update, iPhone users can now easily record phone calls directly on their devices using Apple Intelligence, which provides transcription and summary in the Notes app. However, the summarization feature is still a work in progress. Previously, Apple did not allow recording through the iPhone’s built-in microphone while on a call due to privacy reasons and varying state laws.
For those with iOS 18, recording a call is as simple as tapping a new icon on the call screen. Users with older iOS versions or incompatible devices can still record calls using external recording devices like another iPhone or iPad with apps like Voice Memos. It is important to check the laws in your state regarding recording phone calls before proceeding.
For those without iOS 18, there are third-party apps like Rev Voice Recorder or Google Voice that can help with call recording. Rev offers free call recording with in-app legal guidance, while Google Voice allows for recording incoming calls for personal Google accounts and more recording capabilities for Google Workspace accounts. Easy Voice Recorder is another free option for recording voice memos or calls to different file formats.\”
