iOS 18.1：How To Record And Transcribe A Call On iPhone？

0 comments

With the release of iOS 18.1, iPhone users can now record phone calls. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it, as well as where to access your recorded calls.

By following these steps, you can easily record phone calls on your iPhone running iOS 18.1 and access your recordings whenever needed. Remember to respect the privacy rights of others and only use this feature when necessary and with their consent.

How to record iPhone phone calls?

Update to iOS 18.1:
- Ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS 18.1 version.
- Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install the update if necessary.
Start a Phone Call:
- Make or receive a phone call as usual.
Access the Recording Feature:
- During the call, a "Record Call" button will appear. Tap it to start recording.
End the Recording:
- When you're done, end the call as usual. The recording will be saved in the "Notes" app.

How to review the call transcript?

After the call, the recording will be saved in the "Notes" app, specifically in a new "Call Recordings" section.
In this section, each recording is listed by the contact name and the time of the call.
The recordings are saved as audio files and can also be automatically transcribed into text for easy review.

Additional Features

Real-Time Transcription: If your iPhone has Apple Intelligence, you can also get real-time transcriptions of the call. The transcriptions appear on the screen during the call and support multiple languages.
Summary of Key Points: Apple Intelligence can also generate a summary of the key points discussed during the call, allowing you to quickly review important information without having to replay the entire recording.

Notes

The call recording feature, along with the mandatory notification, is not limited to iPhone-to-iPhone calls. If you call an Android device, the other party will also hear the "recording" voice prompt.
Some users may find the mandatory notification feature awkward. As a workaround, consider adjusting your phone's language settings to a less common language, which may confuse the other party when the prompt is played.

Which Countries Don't Allow iPhone's Call Recording Feature?

Here are some countries and regions with stricter laws regarding call recording, where the iPhone's call recording feature may not be available, or where special consent is required:

Italy: Under privacy laws, recording a call without the other party's consent is illegal. Therefore, the iPhone's built-in recording feature is unavailable in Italy.
Australia: Privacy laws require explicit consent from both parties for call recording. In some regions, the iPhone's recording feature may not function properly.
Germany: Due to strict privacy regulations, recording a call without consent is illegal in Germany.
Brazil: Similar to other countries, call recording in Brazil requires both parties' consent.
Canada: Some provinces in Canada require the consent of both parties to record a call, which could limit the use of the iPhone's recording feature.
United Kingdom: UK privacy laws require that all parties in a call must be notified and give consent before recording.
Certain States in the USA: Some US states have stricter recording laws, such as California, where both parties must consent to the recording of a call.
There are also other countries with similar restrictions, so it's important to always comply with local laws and regulations when using the call recording feature.

Conclusion

While iOS 18.1 provides iPhone users with the convenient ability to record and transcribe calls, it's important to understand and comply with local privacy laws before using the feature. If you're in a region with restrictions, make sure to obtain the other party’s consent before recording calls to avoid any legal issues.
