New Features in iOS 26
With iOS 26, Apple has expanded its native call‑recording feature to include transcripts, Live Translation, AI‑generated summaries and deeper integration with the Notes app. The enhancement makes the tool more useful for users who rely on their iPhone for interviews, meetings or important conversations.
History and Availability
Call recording first arrived with iOS 18.1 in October 2024. The feature has always been region‑ and language‑dependent, and that has not changed. Users must confirm that the feature is supported in their country by checking Apple’s feature‑availability page, which lists countries where call recording is not offered, such as the European Union, Saudi Arabia and South Africa.
How to Record a Call
When the feature is available, recording a call is straightforward. During an active call, tap the “More” button. The call continues as normal, and the iPhone automatically saves the audio once the call ends or the user taps “Stop”. All recordings are stored in the native Notes app inside a folder called “Call Recordings”.
Consent and Legal Notice
Before recording, users must obtain consent from the other party. When recording starts, both parties hear an audio notice indicating that the call is being recorded.
Managing Recordings
To listen back, open Notes, go to the Call Recordings folder, and tap the desired file. The “More” button provides options to search, copy, save, share or delete the recording and any associated transcript.
Transcripts and Summaries
If the region and language are supported, iOS 26 also creates a transcript of the call. Users can open a recording in Notes, tap “Show Transcript and Summary”, and view a speaker‑by‑speaker breakdown. The transcript can be searched, copied into another note, or used to jump to specific audio points. With Apple Intelligence enabled, an AI‑generated summary appears alongside the transcript, highlighting key points such as action items or main discussion topics.
Turning Off the Feature
By default, call recording is enabled on supported devices. Users who do not want the option can navigate to Settings → Apps → Phone, tap “Call Recording”, and toggle it off.
Alternatives for Unsupported Regions
In regions where the built‑in feature does not appear, or on earlier iOS versions, users can still record calls using third‑party methods. Options include Rev Call Recorder (U.S. only), Google Voice (U.S. only) which records incoming calls by pressing “4”, external recorders connected via USB‑C or Lightning, or using a separate device to capture speakerphone audio. These alternatives do not integrate with Notes or Apple Intelligence but provide a backup when the official method is unavailable.
