How to Record Calls on Your iPhone
Recording a call is simple and intuitive. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open the Phone App: Dial the number you want to call.
2. Start Recording: During the call, look for the “Start Call Recording” button at the top-left of your screen and tap it.
3. Get Notified: Both you and the other person on the call will hear a notification that the recording has started.
4. Stop Recording: You can stop the recording by tapping the “Stop” button or by simply hanging up.
All recordings are automatically saved in a “Call Recordings” folder within the Notes app, making them easy to find later.
Call recording is here on iOS18, but it is implemented very poorly.
Don’t know why r they saving recording in notes app. And unknown numbers are just saved with the name as call recording. No information in the phone app also if the call was recorded or not. @AppleSupport pic.twitter.com/u6mVPqMwri— Ishan Khandelwal (@Ishan2weets) October 29, 2024
How to Access Call Transcriptions
Transcribing your calls can be incredibly helpful. To view a transcription, follow these steps:
1. Open the Notes App: Find the “Call Recordings” folder.
2. Select a Recording: Tap on a note to open it.
3. View the Transcript: Tap “Transcript” to read the text version of your call. The app identifies who said what, which makes following along a breeze.
If you don’t see the transcript option, it could be due to compatibility issues with your device or the language used in the recording.

Extra Features
When reviewing your transcripts, you can do even more:
– Play Audio from Specific Points: Tap a section of text to listen to that part of the recording.
– Search the Transcript: Use the “Find in Transcript” feature to quickly locate specific topics.
– Copy the Transcript: If you want to save it for later, just choose the “Copy Transcript” option.
You can also manage your recordings, deciding whether to save or delete audio files and their corresponding transcripts. Just remember that deleting the audio will also remove the transcript.
With these new call recording and transcription features, iPhones are set to revolutionize how you communicate, making it much easier to remember and manage important discussions.
