Prior to iOS 18.1, if you wanted to record a phone call on your iPhone, you had to head to the App Store to find a kludgy third-party solution — there was no built-in way tor record from within the Phone app. That's changed now that iOS 18.1 has arrived, with the Phone app picking up a built-in recording capability through the software update. Even better, recording isn't limited to specific phones — any device that can run iOS 18 should be able to support this feature.
That said, there are some regional limitations to phone call recording. In a support document on the feature, Apple lists countries where call recording is not currently available, which includes the European Union. The ability to transcribe your recorded phone calls is limited at the moment to English (U.S., Australia), Spanish (U.S., Mexico), Mandarin Chinese (China mainland), Cantonese (Hong Kong), and Korean (South Korea).
