How to Record Calls
To record a call on your iPhone:
- Open the Phone app and start a call.
- Tap the Start Call Recording button that appears on your screen.
- Both you and the person on the other end will hear a short audio message indicating the call is being recorded.
- To stop recording, press Stop or simply hang up.
All recordings are saved in the Notes app under a folder labeled Call Recordings.
Viewing and Transcribing Call Recordings
Here’s how you can access transcriptions and use other features:
- Open the Notes app and find your recording in the Call Recordings folder.
- Tap on Transcript to view the text version of the call.
- In the transcript, each speaker is identified, and you can even search, copy, or delete parts of the text.
For better organization, you can add the transcript to a different note or copy it for sharing.
Important Points to Remember
Privacy Notice: Both call participants will be informed when the recording starts.
Transcription Languages: Transcription works for specific languages, so check if your preferred language is supported.
Deleting: Deleting a recording will also erase its transcript, so save a copy if needed.
With this update, Apple has made it easier for users to keep track of important calls. Enjoy exploring this feature on your iPhone!
