Apple's iOS 18 has introduced a host of exciting features, and one of the most anticipated among them is the ability to record phone calls directly from your iPhone. For years, iPhone users have sought ways to record calls for various reasons, whether it be for business, legal, or personal use. With iOS 18, Apple has finally made this feature native, making it easier and more accessible than ever. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to record phone calls on your iOS 18 device and how you can make the most of these recordings, including using VOMO AI for enhanced transcription and analysis.

Recording Phone Calls on iOS 18: Step-by-Step Guide

With the introduction of iOS 18, recording phone calls is now a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Start Your Phone Call

First, make or receive a call as you normally would. Once you’re on the call, you’ll notice a new icon on the call interface. This icon is slightly faded out at first but will become active once the call is connected.

Step 2: Activate Call Recording

Once you see the call timer (which shows the seconds ticking), the recording icon will become tappable. Simply tap this icon to start recording the call. The system will notify you that the call is being recorded, and the other party will also be informed, ensuring transparency.

Step 3: Save and Access Your Recording

After the call ends, your recording will automatically be saved to a new folder in your Notes app titled "Call Recordings." Each recording will include the date, time, and duration of the call, along with playback controls. You can play, pause, rewind, or fast-forward the recording directly within the Notes app.

Step 4: View the Transcription

One of the standout features of iOS 18’s call recording capability is the automatic transcription of your phone calls. Alongside the audio file, you’ll find a text transcription of the conversation. This transcription is generated using Apple’s AI, providing an accurate and searchable record of your call.

Step 5: Share and Manage Your Recordings

From the Notes app, you can easily share your call recordings via email, messaging apps, or save them to your Files app for safekeeping. You also have the option to add the transcription to a note, copy it, or search for specific terms within the transcription.

Legal Considerations When Recording Calls

Before you start recording phone calls, it’s important to understand the legal implications. In many regions, you are required by law to inform the other party that they are being recorded. iOS 18 helps ensure compliance by notifying both parties when a recording is in progress. However, it’s still your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to local laws regarding call recording.
