"The most common approach is to use a second device as a recorder: Put your iPhone call on speakerphone and capture the audio with another iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android phone running a recording app (for example, Voice Memos on iPhone or iPad, or an Android recorder like this one). Do a quick test, play it back, and adjust volume, distance, and environment until the sound is clear."
"In the US, it's legal to record a call only with proper consent. Federal law requires consent from at least one party, meaning you can record if you're part of the call. But many states -- including California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts -- require all parties to agree. Recording without the needed consent in those states may violate wiretapping laws."
"Apple's built-in recorder announces to all parties when a call is being recorded, but that doesn't replace legal obligations. The safest approach is always to tell the other person and get their OK before you start."
Multiple methods exist for recording iPhone calls beyond built-in features. The simplest approach uses a second device: place the call on speakerphone and record audio using Voice Memos on another iPhone or iPad, or an Android recorder app. Alternatively, third-party apps and services like TapeACall and Google Voice offer recording capabilities, though they may involve additional costs or workarounds. Legal considerations are critical: federal US law requires one-party consent, but many states including California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts mandate all-party consent. International laws vary significantly. Apple's built-in recorder announces recording to all parties, but this doesn't satisfy legal requirements. The safest practice is obtaining explicit consent from all participants before recording.
