Recording phone calls on an iPhone has always been a bit of a challenge due to privacy and legal concerns. However, with the introduction of iOS 18.1 and Apple Intelligence, Apple has made it easier than ever to record calls natively on your iPhone. This feature allows you to record and transcribe phone calls directly on your device without needing third-party apps. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to record phone calls using Apple Intelligence and highlight how VOMO AI can further enhance your experience by managing and transcribing your recordings.
Getting Started with Apple Intelligence
To use the native call recording feature on your iPhone, you need to have iOS 18.1 or later installed on your device. Apple Intelligence leverages advanced AI to manage and process call recordings directly within your iPhone's Notes app. Here’s how to set it up and start recording your calls:
Step 1: Enable Apple Intelligence
Before you can record calls, ensure that Apple Intelligence is enabled on your device:
Update to iOS 18.1: If you’re not already on iOS 18.1, you’ll need to update your iPhone. You can do this by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update and downloading the latest version.
Enable Apple Intelligence: Once your iPhone is updated, go to Settings > Apple Intelligence and make sure that all features are enabled, including call recording.
Step 2: Recording a Phone Call
Recording calls is seamless with Apple Intelligence. Here’s how to do it:
Make or Receive a Call: When you make or receive a call, you will see a new recording icon on your call screen.
Start Recording: Tap the recording icon to start recording the call. Apple Intelligence will notify the other party that the call is being recorded, ensuring transparency.
Manage Your Recording: You can pause, resume, or stop the recording at any time during the call. The recordings are automatically saved to the Notes app, where you can review, play, and manage them.
Step 3: Access and Transcribe Recordings
All call recordings are stored in the Notes app under a dedicated section for call recordings. You can listen to the recordings directly from the Notes app, and Apple Intelligence will also provide a basic transcription of the call, which is continuously improved as the service evolves.
