With the release of iOS 18, Apple has introduced a much-anticipated call recording feature that allows users to record both standard cellular calls and FaceTime audio calls. Hereâs a detailed overview of how you can share these recordings with others.
Recording Calls on iOS 18
How to Record Calls
1. Enable Call Recording: Navigate to Settings > Phone > Call Recording to toggle the feature on.2. Start Recording: During a call, tap the Record button that appears on your screen. A notification will inform both parties that the call is being recorded[1][4][5].
Where Recordings Are Stored
All recorded calls are saved in a dedicated section within the Notes app under "Call Recordings." This section is synced across your devices via iCloud, allowing you to access your recordings from an iPad or Mac as well[1][4][5].Sharing Call Recordings
You have multiple options for sharing your recorded calls:
1. Via Notes App:
- Open the Notes app and select your call recording.
- Tap the three dots menu icon in the top right corner.
- Choose Share Audio to select sharing options like AirDrop, Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, etc.[1][3].
2. Exporting Recordings:
- You can also save recordings directly to your local storage or iCloud Drive by selecting Save Audio to Files, which saves the file in M4A format compatible with most media players[1][3].
3. Using Voice Memos:
- If you prefer using the Voice Memos app, you can share recordings directly from there as well. Simply select the recording, tap Share, and choose your preferred method of sharing[2][3].
Important Considerations
- Legal Compliance: Before recording any conversation, ensure you comply with local laws regarding call recording, which may require informing the other party[3][4].
- Quality Control: For better audio quality, especially in noisy environments, consider using an external microphone when recording calls[3].
In summary, iOS 18 not only allows you to record calls but also makes it easy to share those recordings through various apps and services. Whether for personal use or professional needs, this feature enhances communication management on your iPhone.
