How to Use Call Recording on iOS 18.1

Apple has officially introduced the call recording feature with iOS 18.1; however, there are certain limitations to be aware of. In this blog, we will explore these limitations and provide a guide on recording calls on your iPhone.

The Long-Awaited Feature

In the past, recording calls on your iPhone required third-party apps or other workarounds, which needed to be more reliable or legal. However, Apple finally gave us the call recording feature natively in iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence. However, there is a catch: this feature is currently in beta because it has arrived with iOS 18.1 beta and will only run on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

How to Record Calls on iPhone 15 Pro Series

So, if you're lucky to own an iPhone 15 Pro Series, here's how to record calls on your iPhone. All you need to do is open the phone app and call. Now, at the top left corner, you will have the option of recording a call. Tap on it, and there you go—the call recording will start. You can simply tap the stop button or hang up the call to end the recording. The recordings will be saved as notes, and you can access them through the Notes app under the Call Recording folder.

Additional Features

And there you go—this is our call recording feature! Also, the new iOS 18.1 transcribes your call and can even summarize your recorded conversation. But what if you want to extract that audio from the notes? Then, my friend, all you need to do is open that particular recording, tap on the three-dot button, and over here, you can save the audio to files or share it according to your preferences.

Legal Considerations

It's important to know that call recording laws vary by region, and in some places, you require the consent of both parties before you start recording the call. That's how you record calls on an iPhone with iOS 18.1, at least for those in the beta program who own an iPhone 15 Pro Series. If you're not in the beta program, don't worry; this feature will come out soon with the iOS 18.1 stable release on the iPhone 15 Pro Series.
