TapeACall: Call Recorder
Consider TapeACall if your carrier supports its recording method and you need to organize, export or transcribe recorded calls.
Call Recorder iCall
Consider iCall if a conference-call recording workflow is compatible with your carrier and region.

Check the built-in Phone app first
Apple documents call recording in the Phone app starting with iOS 18, but availability varies by region and language. Participants receive an audio notice when Apple's feature starts recording, and recordings are saved in Notes.
Third-party apps may use conference calling
Some recording apps add a recording service as another participant in a merged call. This can fail when a carrier or plan does not support the required conference-call feature. Test the complete workflow with a non-critical call before relying on it.
Get consent before recording
Recording laws and workplace rules depend on the participants and their locations. Tell everyone that recording is planned and obtain the consent required for your situation. This guide does not determine which law applies to a particular call.
