Things get tricky when you want to record a call while using an iPhone.(And on Android it’s not so easy, but definitely possible.) You might think that there’s an iOS app for this, but Apple doesn’t allow third-party apps to directly access the microphone and the built-in microphone – in the App phone. However, there are some tricks to get around this limitation in some apps and services and become a master of mobile eavesdropping. Don’t forget to tell the person on the other side of the check-in line.
Depending on your location, you may be breaking the law if you don’t do this.Some US states like New York and even federal agencies require consent from only one party, meaning you can record without informing anyone else. In California, all parties must know that they are being recorded, even if the person recording is out of state.
Federal law allows consent from one party, but only if you participate in the conversation. otherwise it counts as an interception. None of these provisions are as simple as they seem (courts have recognized the consent of one party in Nevada as the consent of all parties). Play it safe and get permission for every recorded conversation.
“Forgiveness” could be controversial, expensive, or even lead to criminal prosecution. If you’re nervous, don’t record at all.

Use Google Voice . If you haven’t used your free Google Voice account in a while, give it a try. It offers free voicemail, a toll-free phone number, dial-up service (it rings as many phones as you want until you answer), and even incoming call recording. The Google Voice app on iPhone lets you make outgoing calls, but you can’t record them.
For the recording to work, it must be activated in the settings. In the mobile application or by voice.google.com on your computer, go to Settings > Connections > Incoming call options. If you receive calls to a Google Voice number, press 4 on the keypad. Participants hear a robotic voice announcing the start of recording: this is Google’s way of ensuring compliance with the law.

The downside to these apps is that they’re not as easy as pressing a key on the numeric keypad. You will need to take additional steps to connect to the third registered number. However, they can be activated during a normal telephone conversation; You can then easily access your recordings in the app and play, download, share or export them as needed. Rev, our flagship transcription service, offers an app that allows you to easily record incoming and outgoing calls by dialing the Rev recording number in the case of a 3-way call.
You can access your recordings from the Calls section of the application. Unlimited recording is free with Rev, there is unlimited storage and you can share the recording as many times as you want. It only charges for transcriptions ($1 per minute, but in our test it offers the highest accuracy). Exclusive to iOS, the Rev Call Recorder app is free. Don’t confuse it with the aforementioned Rev voice recorder (also free on iOS and Android), which lets you record personal conversations.
