Record and transcribe a call on iPhone

In some countries and regions, you can record a phone call when you’re talking to one other person. In select regions and languages, you can view the transcript of the call in the Notes app. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.

Note: Call recording isn’t currently available in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Egypt, the European Union, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Record a call

Before you begin, check the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website to see if call recording is available in your language and region, and make sure the other call participant is willing to be recorded.

  1. Go to the Phone app on your iPhone.

  2. Make a call.

  3. During the call, tap the Start Call Recording button.

    Both call participants hear an audio notice that the call is being recorded.

  4. To stop recording, tap the Stop button or just hang up.

    Call recordings are automatically saved to a Call Recordings folder in the Notes app.

  5. To see the call in the Notes app, tap View Saved Call.

Play a recorded call

  1. Go to the Notes app on your iPhone.

  2. Select a note in the Call Recordings folder, then tap the Play button.

View a call transcript

In select region and languages, you can view the transcript of a recorded call in the Notes app. The transcript may not be available immediately—you may see a message that the transcription is in progress.

Note: Verify the accuracy of a transcription before relying on it. It might not be a perfect representation of the conversation.

  1. Go to the Notes app on your iPhone.

  2. Select a note in the Call Recordings folder, then tap Transcript.

    Note: Spoken words in supported languages are automatically transcribed. If you don’t see Transcript, your iPhone doesn’t meet the minimum requirements or detect a supported language.

    In the transcript, the speaker of each statement is identified.

  3. While viewing the transcript, you can do any of the following:

    • Play the audio from a specific point: Select the text you want to hear.

    • Search the transcript: Tap the More button, then tap Find in Transcript.

    • Copy the transcript: Tap the More button, then choose Add Transcript to Note or Copy Transcript.

    • Save or delete the audio recording: Tap the More button, then choose an option.

      Note: Deleting the audio recording also deletes the transcript.

    • View the waveform of the recording: Tap the Hide Transcript button.

Turn off Call Recording

Call Recording is on by default, but you can turn it off.

  1. Go to Settings  > Apps > Phone.

  2. Tap Call Recording, then turn off Call Recording.
