- iPhone users running iOS 18.1 developer beta 1 can record calls and have the on-device Neural Engine automatically generate transcripts.
- When triggered, the feature alerts the other parties by stating that the call is being recorded.
- Once the call concludes, users can listen to the audio recording in the Notes app, view its transcript, and have Apple Intelligence summarize it.
Yesterday, Apple released iOS 18.1 developer beta 1 to enrolled iPhone 15 Pro users, giving them an early look at some of the upcoming Apple Intelligence features. With the newly introduced AI goods stealing the spotlight, a long-overdue feature has silently slipped through. The latest iteration of iOS 18 finally brings call recording and transcription to the iPhone.
After updating to iOS 18.1, iPhone users will find a new audio recording option at the top-left corner of the call screen. When clicked, iOS audibly announces that the call is being recorded to alert the other parties. After the call ends, the recording is automatically saved in the built-in Notes app, along with an automatically generated transcript.
