iPhone, Tutorials

Recording incoming calls on an iPhone is a highly sought-after feature, but unfortunately, Apple does not provide a built-in option for this. However, there are some workarounds that allow you to record your incoming calls without the need for any third-party apps. In this tutorial, we will explore different methods to achieve this.

Method 1: Use a Voice Memo

If you’re looking for a simple and quick way to record your incoming calls, using the Voice Memo app is the way to go. Here’s how:

  1. First, ensure that the Voice Memo app is installed on your iPhone. If not, you can download it from the App Store.
  2. When you receive an incoming call that you want to record, answer it as usual.
  3. While on the call, open the Voice Memo app and tap on the red record button.
  4. Continue with your conversation as normal while the Voice Memo app records in the background.
  5. Once you’re done with the call, end it and stop the recording in the Voice Memo app by tapping on the red button again.

Note: Keep in mind that recording phone conversations without consent may be illegal or require legal permissions depending on your jurisdiction. Always make sure to follow local laws and regulations before recording any calls.

Method 2: Use a Mac and QuickTime

If you have access to a Mac computer, you can use QuickTime Player to record your incoming calls. Here’s what you need:

  • An iPhone running iOS 8 or later with a Lightning cable
  • A Mac computer with QuickTime Player installed (usually comes pre-installed)

Follow these steps:

  1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac using the Lightning cable.
  2. On your Mac, open QuickTime Player from the Applications folder or search for it using Spotlight.
  3. In QuickTime Player, go to the File menu and select “New Audio Recording”.
  4. A recording window will appear. Click on the small arrow next to the record button and select your iPhone as the input device.
  5. On your iPhone, answer the incoming call that you want to record.
  6. In QuickTime Player on your Mac, click on the record button to start recording the audio from your iPhone.
  7. When you’re done with the call, click on the stop button in QuickTime Player to end the recording.
