Call Recording on iOS 18.1: How to use it

Keep in mind that there may be bugs and other flaws in the beta version. So make sure that you produce a backup for your iPhone before installing the iOS 18.1 developer beta. Without further ado, let’s dive into how to use call recording on the new beta.

1. Start a call via the Phone app.

2. While the call is in progress, tap on the record button on the top-left corner.

3. You will hear the “This call will be recorded” message, notifying everyone on call that a recording is in session.

Your recorded call will be saved to the Notes app where you can access it. You’ll have the option to listen to the call again. You can even get a full transcript of the call or get a short summary of it.
