How to Record a Call on an iPhone: 4 Methods That Don't Require Apps

• Check your local laws and the laws of the location your call recipient is in to ensure you are abiding by phone call recording laws.
• You can use another device to record your call if you place the call on speaker.
• By merging calls you can either use a website like Recordator or your own voicemail to record phone calls.

Recording with Another Device

Obtain a second device with a microphone. This could be another phone, a tablet, a computer, or any device that has a microphone and has an app to record audio.

Call the contact on speakerphone. Be sure to notify the other person that you are recording the call if required by law.

Place your phone near the recording device. This will ensure that the recording device picks up the clearest sound from your phone.

Stop the recording once the call has ended.

Save the recording. You can send it to your phone if you want to keep it there for recordkeeping, or you can keep it on the recording device if you so choose.
