- Open the Voice Memos app.
- Tap the red record button to start recording.
- Make or receive the call and ensure the conversation is ongoing.
- Tap stop to end and save the recording.
- Access and share the recording from the app
- Alternatively, with iOS 18.1 or later, you can record calls directly and get transcripts via the Phone app and Notes app, but this requires the latest iOS version
For Android

- Open the voice recorder app.

- Conduct your call.
- Stop recording when finished.

- Use Google Voice to record incoming calls:
- Set up a Google Voice account and app.
- Enable incoming call recording in settings.
- During a call, press "4" to start/stop recording.
- Recordings are saved in Google Voice voicemail
- On Samsung Galaxy phones with One UI 7 or later:
- Open the Phone app.
- Tap the Record icon during a call.
- Calls are recorded, transcribed, and summarized (if supported).
- Participants are notified of recording
Other options
- Use third-party apps like Dialpad or OpenPhone that offer easy call recording with a tap of a button during calls
Important notes
- Always inform and get consent from all parties before recording calls, as laws vary by region.
- Check your device storage before recording.
- Some methods only record incoming calls (e.g., Google Voice).
This gives you multiple ways to record phone calls depending on your device and preferences
