You can find a built-in feature in Android phones that allows the user to record calls with ease, but on the contrary, you cannot record a phone call on... IPhone You also find it difficult to find a third-party application in the App Store that provides you with this feature, and if you find it, it is through complex methods, most of which are not available in our countries? The question here is, why doesn't Apple provide the call recording feature on the iPhone?
Record calls on iPhone
Apple is an American company that abides by the laws of the United States, although some states have different laws than others regarding the legality of recording phone calls. It may be difficult for Apple to accurately track the user's location; Thus, find out whether there is a place where recording calls is legal or not. And to ensure general compliance. Apple does not add call recording to iPhones.
In addition to the laws, Apple also cares about the privacy of users, and is keen to protect it. Therefore, it feels that the call recording feature blatantly violates privacy, as any party may record the call that may contain sensitive information, and therefore the company will never bring that feature to its various devices to protect it. its users.
Additionally, the company has gone the extra mile to ensure that many other third-party apps will have trouble making this happen as well. For example, microphones for screen recorders and audio recorders will generally be disabled.
Why are calls recorded?
You may wonder why your call is being recorded while you're talking to a customer service representative for a company or your bank. It can be said that companies and banks often record phone calls as examples for training their communications staff regarding how to handle certain situations and for managerial reviews of employee performance.
But the key to these calls is to inform the caller of the fact that their call may be recorded. Any caller who does not wish this to happen is free to end the call. So this is where privacy laws really come into play. If the caller is informed of the recording, but does not end the call, this may be considered a form of consent to the recording.
How to record a call on iPhone?
The recording function is intentionally disabled in all applications and features of the iPhone when you are in a phone call. However, there are some ways in which the call can be recorded on the iPhone. You can rely on the Google Voice application, which allows audio recordings and also allows you Select the device from which the call will be recorded. Moreover, there are a number of paid applications that provide you with the feature of recording any call on the iPhone, such as TapeACall Pro or Acr call recorder, and there is also the Call Recorder and iCall application.
But warningMost of these applications do not work well, and they may not work completely in the Arab world, and registration for them is through complicated methods such that you must combine two calls, the person you are calling and then a phone number sent to you by the application that will end the conversation.
Finally, know, dear reader, that Saudi law stipulates that it is not permissible to watch, monitor, or hear telephone, postal, or telegraphic conversations except by reasoned order and for a limited period by the competent authorities and under their supervision for the purpose of inference and investigation, and not for the general public.
As for Egyptian law, anyone who assaults the private lives of citizens by eavesdropping, recording, or transmitting via any device is punishable by imprisonment. In the case of blackmail and threats, the person is punished with 5 years imprisonment.

I have an iPhone with beta 18 update and it records calls
Hello Ashraf Pasha 🙋♂️, It seems that you are using a beta version of iOS and this may allow you to record calls. But you should know that this feature may not continue in the final versions of the system due to laws and restrictions around user privacy. 😊📱🔒
I respect this clause very much, so why am I recording calls? This is something unnatural and bad: My respect is for everyone
Hello Nadi 🙋♂️, it seems that you consider recording calls something unnatural and bad, and this is a respected opinion. In fact, this is the philosophy followed by Apple as well, putting user privacy first. So there is no built-in call recording feature on the iPhone. 📱🔒
I agree with Apple
I hope that Apple does not add this feature in iOS 18.
Why? As the writer said, the call recording feature
Causes a violation of privacy
We assume that the feature was added in iOS
This feature will cause problems for users
Also, I record the screen when I get a call
iPhone turns off screen recording
Because he knows very well that this feature is very dangerous and if the iPhone does not stop screen recording
If the call is recorded, the person I am talking to will become angry
Also, if the feature is present and most people record the call, this thing may happen, as the call will be spread on most social networks, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter.
This feature leads to severing ties between you and your friend
Suppose your friend said he did not like the call, it was being recorded, but you did not hear his words and you recorded the call
The person here does not talk to you at all after he was your friend, and even if you ask him to forgive you, the person refuses, and it is difficult to convince him to forgive you.
I apologize for speaking at length, but in conclusion I ask the company not to add this feature
Hello world of iOS and technology! 😊 I completely agree with you, user privacy is a priority for Apple and this is why it moves very cautiously regarding such features. However, we cannot ignore the fact that there are cases that may require registration for legal or personal reasons. Ultimately, it is up to the person themselves to use this feature appropriately and ethically. Thank you very much for your valuable participation 🍏🌟
Happy New Year and may you be blessed with joy and happiness, O Lord, always in your family and professional life - iPhone Islam Team 🤲🏼
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you, my brothers. You always enlighten us. May God enlighten your hearts with faith. Eid Mubarak and every year you are well. Amen.
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you, my brothers.
Ok, there are times when a person needs to authenticate the call between him and the other party, so how can authentication be prohibited?
Welcome, Salty Sugar 🍬🧂, unfortunately authenticating calls on the iPhone is considered complicated due to Apple’s strict policy in protecting users’ privacy. However, there are some apps like Google Voice and TapeACall Pro that may provide you with this feature. But I must mention that it may not work well in the Arab world and registration there is through complicated methods. Finally, you must ensure that privacy laws and local law are respected before recording any call. 📱🔴
You made me laugh 😅 Saudi law stipulates that it is not permissible to watch, monitor, or hear telephone, postal, or telegraphic conversations, but a saw is permitted.
Except foolishness is tired of those who treat it.
What is important is the news of your beloved Sultan, Caliph, Emir of the group, Erdogan, did you sell to you or did you sell him?
I think that Apple is keen to reduce the number of cases because recording calls in most countries is a charge of espionage or a violation of privacy, in addition to the possibility of engaging in defamation cases. If someone has money and time and likes to explore the adventures of the courts, he should borrow $35 to cover the costs of his desires, in addition to a free hotel experience. With multiple guests
Welcome Arkan, 😊 Your guidance is absolutely correct! 🎯 Apple is really keen to protect users and avoid potential legal issues. And if you have the passion to explore the adventures of the courts, you may find that this is an expensive adventure indeed! 💸😅 So, let's enjoy the iPhone as it is, and let's leave the court adventures to those who love legal challenges! 🍏📱😉
With Cydia everything was fine and working perfectly
But it eliminated Cydia a few years ago. Damn them and their complex system
Hello Nasser Al-Zayadi 😊, I think you miss the days of Cydia. But let us note that Apple has closed the loopholes that Cydia relied on in order to protect the user and preserve his privacy and data security. There is always a positive side, so do not be sad 🍏💚.
I hope to create a tool, application or website that records calls via iPhone Islam
Hello Mufleh 🙋♂️, your idea is good, but recording calls on the iPhone is considered a complicated matter due to the privacy laws that Apple is very careful about. Some apps like Google Voice, TapeACall Pro, etc. can be used, but they may not work well in our area. We should also mention that Saudi and Egyptian law place restrictions on recording calls without permission. It is always best to respect the privacy of others and abide by the law 😊👍.
Welcome, iPhone Islam, and happy new year. I actually searched several years ago for this topic and did not find any solution or application. Now I know why, and from my experience, registering with another phone is the best solution.
Hello Mufleh 👋, thank you for your nice comment and happy new year too 🎉. Yes indeed, recording via another phone is a good solution in light of the lack of direct recording feature on the iPhone 📱. We are always here to enrich your information and provide you with everything new in the world of Apple 🍏.
I remember one time I was recording the iPhone screen, and when the call came, the recording stopped automatically!
Hello MuhammadJassem 🙌, This is completely normal! When you receive a call, iPhone automatically disconnects the recording to protect the privacy of the call. Apple has strict privacy and call recording policies. Don't worry, you are not alone in this, this is the nature of the apple 🍏😉.
I record calls using an application that I installed from the TrollStore tool. It is similar to a jailbreak.
Hello Ahmed Al-Karbalai 🙋♂️, It seems that you actually agree with the old saying “Necessity is the mother of invention”! 🚀 But let me remind you that using untrusted applications may lead to security and privacy problems. Therefore, it is always preferable to use applications recognized by Apple. Keep your data safe! 🛡️🔒
